Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure compute capacity in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a reservation, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity than you would if you paid for it on an hourly, on-demand basis. This is ideal for workloads with consistent usage patterns.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While reservations are generally non-cancellable, Azure offers flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit and the ability to exchange reservations under certain conditions. Consult Microsoft Azure documentation for the latest policies.
