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 a specific type of virtual machine in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It also reserves capacity in the chosen region.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a discounted rate. This fixed commitment shields you from potential price increases and offers substantial savings over the life of the reservation compared to on-demand instances.
Does this reservation guarantee I can deploy a VM?
Yes, a Reserved VM Instance reserves compute capacity in the specified region for the chosen instance type. This ensures that the resources are available for you to deploy your virtual machines when you need them.
