Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine type in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years). This commitment allows Microsoft Azure to reserve capacity for you and offers significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a reservation, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a discounted rate. This fixed pricing model helps stabilize your cloud budget and reduces the per-hour cost of running your virtual machines.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure offers flexibility with reservations. You can exchange or cancel reservations, though terms and conditions apply. It is recommended to review Azure's reservation modification policies for details.
