Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine type in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years). In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you pay a lower hourly rate for the VM instance than if you were to pay for it on demand. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are specific to the VM type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through the RI exchange program, direct changes are not typically supported without specific actions.
