Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity and helps optimize cloud spending for predictable workloads.
Who should purchase a Reserved VM Instance?
Organizations with stable, predictable compute needs that do not anticipate significant changes in their VM usage over the reservation term are ideal candidates. This includes running core business applications, development/test environments, or backend services.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Generally, reserved instances are tied to the specific instance type and region purchased. Modifications may be possible through Azure's reservation exchange or cancellation policies, but these often involve specific conditions and potential fees.
