Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Azure Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance 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 this reservation save money?
By committing to a Reserved Instance, you are essentially pre-paying for compute capacity, which Azure offers at a lower rate than on-demand instances. This is most effective for workloads with consistent usage patterns.
Can I change the VM type or region after purchase?
Azure Reserved Instances offer some flexibility. While the instance type and region are committed, Azure provides options to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply.
