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 region for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. This commitment allows Azure to offer you a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a discounted rate. This fixed price protects you from potential price increases and offers substantial savings over the duration of the reservation.
