Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in Azure for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount on the pay-as-you-go price. It guarantees capacity in the chosen region.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you secure a much lower hourly rate for the compute capacity than if you paid on-demand. This predictability helps control cloud spending for stable workloads.
Can I change the VM instance type or region later?
While the reservation locks in the specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply.
