Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine size in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity and predictable costs.
How does this differ from pay-as-you-go?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but can lead to variable costs. A Reserved Instance locks in your price for the term, providing cost savings and guaranteed capacity for predictable workloads.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the instance size and region are committed for the term, Azure offers some flexibility through reservations exchanges or modifications, depending on specific terms and conditions. It is best to plan your needs carefully upfront.
