Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine capacity in a particular region 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 a Reserved VM Instance save me money?
By committing to a reservation, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate than the standard on-demand pricing. This discount is applied automatically to your Azure bill for the duration of the reservation.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While the reservation is tied to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan your capacity needs carefully upfront.
