Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific virtual machine types in a particular Azure region 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 costs.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 1-year term for the Standard D2 v3 instance in US East 2, you pay a lower effective hourly rate for the compute resources you use, leading to substantial savings over the reservation period compared to on-demand pricing.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing?
While you cannot change the VM size or region of an existing RI, Azure offers flexibility through RI exchanges and modifications under certain conditions. It is best to consult Azure documentation or support for the most current options.
