Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular region for a set term, typically one or three years. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a longer term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate. This reduces your overall cloud spending for workloads that have predictable and consistent resource needs.
Can I change the VM instance type or region later?
While the reservation commits you to a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility options. You may be able to exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan for your long-term needs upfront.
