Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go rates.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you pay a lower effective hourly rate for the VM instance, leading to substantial savings over the duration of the commitment, especially for workloads that run continuously.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While you cannot change the instance type or region of an existing RI, Azure offers flexibility through RI exchanges or cancellations under certain conditions, subject to Azure's terms and conditions.
