Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine (VM) in a particular region for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. 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 committing to a 1-year term, you secure a lower price for your compute resources. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously, as it eliminates the higher per-hour cost of on-demand instances.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the commitment is tied to the specific VM size and region purchased, Azure offers flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit and the ability to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms apply.
