Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine type in a particular region for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this save me money?
By reserving capacity, you lock in a lower price for your compute resources. This is most beneficial 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 instance type or region?
While the reservation is tied to a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You may be able to exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to consult the specific terms and conditions.
