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 this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the STANDARD_M128S_V2 VM in US East, you pre-purchase capacity at a substantially lower rate than if you paid for it on a monthly, on-demand basis. This predictability helps optimize your cloud budget.
Does this reservation guarantee performance?
While it guarantees capacity, the performance of your VM also depends on its configuration, the applications running on it, and overall Azure platform load. However, by reserving capacity, you ensure the underlying resources are available for your VM.
