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 a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go rates.
How does this reservation save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the STANDARD_M32MS VM in US WEST, you secure a lower per-hour rate than if you were to pay for the VM on a month-to-month basis. This predictability helps in budgeting and reduces overall cloud spend.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing this reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange your RI for another RI with different attributes, or cancel it, subject to Azure's terms and conditions. However, the primary benefit is locking in your current configuration.
