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 (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 pay-as-you-go Azure VMs?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but can lead to higher costs and potential capacity limitations during peak demand. Reserved Instances offer lower costs and guaranteed capacity for a committed term.
Can I change the VM size or region with a Reserved Instance?
Generally, reserved instances are tied to the specific VM size and region purchased. Modifications may be possible under certain Azure policies, but it is best to plan your requirements carefully before purchase.
