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 (e.g., 1 or 3 years). 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 reserving capacity, you pay a lower hourly rate for the VM instance than if you were using the on-demand pricing model. This is particularly beneficial for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer some flexibility. While the core reservation is tied to specific attributes, Azure provides options to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms apply.
