Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that allows you to pre-purchase Azure compute capacity for a 1 or 3-year term. In exchange for a commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go rates and a reservation of compute capacity in the selected region.
How does this reservation save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term for a specific VM instance type and region, you secure a lower hourly rate for your Azure compute usage. This predictability helps control cloud spending and reduces overall costs for stable workloads.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While the commitment is for a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel RIs under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply. It is best to choose your reservation carefully based on current and projected needs.
