Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machines for a 1- or 3-year term, which provides a significant discount on the compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity in the selected region and VM size.
How does this differ from a pay-as-you-go VM?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but at a higher per-hour cost. A Reserved VM Instance locks in a lower rate for a commitment period, ideal for stable, long-term workloads where cost predictability and capacity assurance are paramount.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the commitment is to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit and the ability to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms apply.
