Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reserved VM instance?
A reserved VM instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular region for a set term (e.g., 1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity availability.
How does monthly billing work for reserved instances?
With monthly billing, the total cost of the reserved instance is divided equally across the term, and you are billed that amount each month. This provides predictable monthly expenses for your cloud compute resources.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Generally, reserved instances are tied to the specific VM size and region purchased. Azure offers some flexibility through reservation exchanges or modifications, but terms and conditions apply. It is best to confirm current policies.
