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 virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1 or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save me money?
By committing to a Reserved VM Instance, you are essentially pre-paying for compute capacity. This commitment allows Microsoft to optimize resource allocation, and they pass those savings on to you in the form of a lower hourly rate for the VM instance.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchasing a reservation?
While you cannot directly change the instance type or region of an existing reservation, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, or utilize the Azure VM RI exchange feature to modify your commitment.
