Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types for a 1- or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go prices. It guarantees capacity in the chosen region.
How does this reservation save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you secure a lower hourly rate for the Standard_E8-2S_V3 VM instance than you would pay on a month-to-month basis. This predictability helps optimize your cloud budget.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing?
While you cannot change the VM size or region of an existing RI, Azure offers flexibility through the Azure Savings Plans or RI exchanges, allowing you to modify your commitment under certain conditions. Consult Azure documentation for details.
