Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reserved VM instance?
A reserved VM instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine type in a particular region for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this differ from a pay-as-you-go VM?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but can result in higher costs for consistent workloads. A reserved instance provides cost savings and capacity assurance for predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
