Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine resources 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 my business money?
By committing to a specific VM instance type and region for a 1-year term, you pay a lower hourly rate than if you were using the same instance on a pay-as-you-go basis. This leads to predictable savings over the reservation period.
