Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine 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 and helps manage cloud costs.
How does this differ from a pay-as-you-go VM?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but can be more expensive for consistent workloads. A Reserved Instance locks in a lower price and guarantees capacity, making it ideal for predictable usage.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Typically, reserved instances are tied to the specific VM size and region purchased. Modifications may be possible under certain conditions or through exchange programs, but it is best to confirm the specific terms.
