Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using a specific VM size in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount on the compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you lock in a lower hourly rate for the compute capacity of the Standard D4 v2 instance in US East 2. This reduces your overall Azure bill for that specific resource.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While you cannot change the exact RI after purchase, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange RIs or cancel them with certain limitations and fees, or you can purchase new RIs for different configurations.
