Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific virtual machine types in a chosen Azure region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you pay a lower rate per hour for your VM usage, leading to substantial cost savings over the duration of the reservation compared to on-demand pricing.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are specific to the VM series and region purchased. While you can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, direct modification of the reserved instance itself is not typically supported. It is best to plan your capacity needs carefully.
