Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Azure Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular 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.
How does this reservation save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the Standard_D4s_v4 instance in UK South, you lock in a lower hourly rate than if you were to pay for the VM on a month-to-month basis. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing this reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange your RI for another RI with different attributes (like size or region) or cancel it, subject to Azure's terms and conditions. This allows you to adapt to changing needs while still benefiting from the reservation.
