Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using specific Azure VM types in a particular region for a 1- or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go prices. It guarantees capacity and reduces costs for predictable workloads.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the Standard_M128m VM in US East 2, you are pre-purchasing compute capacity at a discounted rate. This fixed, lower price applies to your usage, leading to substantial savings over the duration of the commitment compared to standard on-demand pricing.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the commitment is tied to the specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel RIs under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply. It is recommended to carefully plan your capacity needs before purchase.
