Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular Azure 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 me money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you pay a lower hourly rate for the VM instance than if you were using a pay-as-you-go model. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange or cancel RIs, though terms and conditions apply, and there may be limitations or fees associated with these changes.
