Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1- or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go prices. It guarantees capacity and provides cost savings for predictable workloads.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the Standard_F4s_v2 instance in US West, you receive a lower price per hour than if you were to pay for the instance on a month-to-month basis. This discount is applied automatically to matching workloads running in your Azure subscription.
