Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RVI) is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular Azure region for a 1-year 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 committing to a specific VM instance type and region for a set term, you secure a lower hourly rate for the compute resources. This predictability allows for better budget management and reduces overall cloud expenditure for stable workloads.
Can I change the 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 the Azure portal, significant changes may require exchanging or canceling reservations, which can have limitations or incur fees.
