Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types 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 differ from pay-as-you-go Azure VMs?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but can be more expensive for consistent workloads. Reserved Instances provide cost savings and capacity assurance for predictable usage patterns, making them ideal for stable, long-term deployments.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Azure Reserved Instances are tied to the specific instance type and region purchased. While some flexibility may exist through Azure's reservation exchange, modifications are not guaranteed and depend on Azure's policies at the time.
