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 set term (1 or 3 years). In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved Instance save money?
By committing to a 1 or 3-year term, you pay a lower hourly rate for the compute capacity. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns, leading to substantial savings over the commitment period.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While the commitment is tied to a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though specific terms apply. It's best to plan your needs carefully before purchasing.
