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 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 reserves capacity for you.
What does Standard_HB60-30RS mean?
Standard_HB60-30RS refers to a specific Azure VM size and series. The HB series is designed for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, offering powerful CPUs and memory configurations suitable for intensive computations.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific VM type and region purchased. While some flexibility exists through the Azure portal to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, it is best to carefully plan your needs before purchasing.
