Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that offers a discount on your Azure virtual machine usage in exchange for a commitment to a specific instance type and region for a 1- or 3-year term. It helps reduce your cloud costs for predictable workloads.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to use a specific VM instance type in a particular region for 3 years, you receive a substantial discount compared to the pay-as-you-go pricing. This makes your cloud spending more predictable and cost-effective for stable workloads.
