Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. This commitment allows Microsoft to provide you with a discount on your compute costs.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you receive a lower price per instance compared to the pay-as-you-go rate. This provides cost predictability and significant savings for workloads that run continuously.
