Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RVI) is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
Who should consider a Reserved VM Instance?
Organizations with predictable, steady-state Azure compute usage for at least one to three years are ideal candidates. This includes workloads like production servers, databases, and critical business applications that run continuously.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a specific VM type and region for a set term, you are essentially pre-paying for that capacity at a discounted rate. This discount is applied to the hourly compute charges of your running instances.
