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 money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity than if you were to use the same resources on a pay-as-you-go basis. This is ideal for workloads with predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific instance type and region purchased. While some flexibility may exist through reservation exchanges or modifications, it is best to plan your capacity needs carefully before purchasing.
