Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance allows you to pre-purchase compute capacity in Azure for a one-year or three-year term. This commitment provides significant discounts compared to pay-as-you-go pricing and guarantees that the specified VM instance type is available for your use.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a Reserved VM Instance, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity than you would on a pay-as-you-go basis. This is ideal for workloads with predictable usage patterns, ensuring cost efficiency for your Azure environment.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are specific to the instance type, region, and term purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit and the ability to exchange reservations, direct changes to the original reservation are not typically supported without specific Azure policies or exchanges.
