Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using a specific virtual machine type in a particular Azure region for a 1 or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount on the compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By pre-paying for compute capacity over a 3-year term, you secure a much lower hourly rate for your virtual machines. This is ideal for workloads that are consistently running and predictable, as it eliminates the higher cost of on-demand instances.
Can I change my VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific instance type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through reservation exchanges or cancellations with fees, it is best to ensure your chosen configuration meets your long-term needs before purchasing.
