Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine capacity in a particular region for a 1-year 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 1-year term, you pay a lower hourly rate for the reserved VM instance than you would for a comparable on-demand instance. This is ideal for workloads with predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific VM size and region purchased. While some flexibility might exist through reservation exchanges or modifications, it is best to carefully plan your needs before purchasing.
