Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular Azure 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 save my business money?
By reserving capacity for workloads that run consistently, you pay a lower hourly rate for the compute resources. This predictability helps optimize your cloud spending and avoid the higher costs associated with on-demand instances.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are tied to the specific VM type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit or by exchanging reservations, direct changes to the reserved instance itself are not typically supported without specific Azure programs.
