Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use 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 this save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you secure a lower per-hour rate for the specified VM size than you would pay on demand. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM size or region if my needs change?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange your RI for another RI with different attributes, or cancel it for a fee. However, the primary benefit comes from matching the reservation to your stable, long-term needs.
