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-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 me money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you secure a lower per-hour rate for your Azure compute resources. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or for extended periods, as the savings accumulate over the commitment duration.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange or cancel RIs, though terms and conditions apply. It is recommended to carefully plan your capacity needs before purchase to maximize benefits.
