Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RZI) is a commitment to use 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 save money?
By committing to a reservation, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns, as it eliminates the higher cost of on-demand instances.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the commitment is tied to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit and the ability to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions. Consult Azure documentation for details.
