Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using a specific type of virtual machine in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity and reduces your overall Azure compute costs.
How does this reservation save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the Standard_M128ms_v2 instance in US West, you receive a lower hourly rate than if you were to pay for the VM on a month-to-month basis. This predictable pricing helps control and reduce your cloud expenditure over the long term.
Does this reservation mean I own the hardware?
No, a Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use Azure compute capacity, not an ownership of physical hardware. Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure, and you are guaranteed the availability of your reserved instance type in the specified region.
