Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine (like Standard_B2MS) in a particular Azure region for a set term (1 or 3 years). In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you are essentially pre-paying for compute capacity at a lower rate than if you paid for it on a month-to-month basis. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While you cannot change the VM size or region of an existing reservation, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, or use Azure Hybrid Benefit to apply existing licenses for further savings.
