Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1- or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go prices. It reserves capacity for you.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the Standard_M64m instance in US Central, you are eligible for substantial discounts on the compute portion of your Azure bill for that specific VM size and region. This provides predictable costs and reduces overall cloud expenditure.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While the RI provides a discount, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel RIs under certain conditions, or adjust your reservation scope, but it is best to plan for your long-term needs to maximize savings.
