Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) 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 my business money?
By committing to a 1-year reservation for the Standard_HB60-45RS instance in US East, you lock in a lower hourly rate for the duration of the term. This provides predictable costs and substantial savings compared to paying the on-demand price for the same compute resources.
Can I change the VM size or region if my needs change?
Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific VM type and region chosen at the time of purchase. While Azure offers some flexibility through the RI Exchange, modifications are not guaranteed and depend on market conditions and Azure policies. It is best to carefully plan your capacity needs before purchasing.
