Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use 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.
How does a Reserved Instance save money?
By committing to a 1-year or 3-year term, you pay a lower hourly rate for the compute capacity. This discount is applied automatically to eligible running virtual machines within your Azure subscription.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are specific to the instance family and region purchased. While you can exchange RIs with other customers through the Azure marketplace, direct modification of the RI itself is not supported. It is best to carefully plan your instance type and region needs before purchasing.
