Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine capacity in a particular region for a 1- 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 money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a discounted rate. This reduces your overall Azure operational expenses for workloads that are expected to run continuously or for extended periods.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While the reservation is tied to a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You may be able to exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan your needs carefully upfront.
