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 specific Azure VM instances for a 1- or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go prices. It guarantees capacity in the chosen region and instance type.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you receive a lower per-hour rate for the STANDARD_HB60-15RS instance compared to the on-demand pricing. This is ideal for workloads that run consistently.
Can I change the region or instance type after purchase?
Reserved Instances are specific to the region and instance family purchased. While you cannot directly change these attributes, Azure offers flexibility through RI exchanges or cancellations under certain conditions, though terms apply.
