Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine resources 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 hourly rate for the VM instance than you would on a pay-as-you-go basis. This is most beneficial for workloads with stable and predictable usage patterns.
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 through the RI Exchange and modification options under certain conditions. It is best to plan your capacity needs carefully before purchasing.
