Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure compute resources (like a particular VM size and 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 and a guarantee of compute capacity.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a specific VM instance type and duration, you pay a lower rate than the standard pay-as-you-go price. This discount is applied automatically to your Azure bill for the duration of the reservation.
What happens after the 1-year term ends?
After the 1-year term concludes, the reservation expires. Your VM will continue to run, but it will revert to the standard pay-as-you-go pricing. You can choose to purchase a new reservation before the current one expires to continue receiving discounts and capacity assurance.
