Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1 or 3-year term. This commitment allows you to receive a significant discount on your compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you are pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate than the on-demand price. This provides substantial savings, especially for workloads that run continuously.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the reservation is tied to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility options. You can exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan your needs carefully upfront.
