Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure compute resources (like a VM size in a particular region) for a 1-year or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount on the compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation apply to my Azure bill?
The discount from the Reserved Instance is automatically applied to the compute charges of matching running VMs in your Azure subscription. You pay for the reservation upfront or over the term, and the discount appears on your monthly Azure bill.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer some flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to carefully plan your needs before purchasing to maximize savings and minimize potential adjustments.
