Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Azure 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 on the compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a specific VM type and region for a set term, you lock in a lower price for Azure compute. This is ideal for workloads with consistent usage patterns, as it eliminates the higher per-hour cost of on-demand instances.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While the commitment is for a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel RIs under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply. It is best to plan your needs carefully before purchasing.
