Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. This commitment allows you to receive a discount on the hourly rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 1-year term for the Standard_M64s_V2 instance in US East, you pay a lower effective hourly rate than if you were to use the same VM on a pay-as-you-go basis. This is ideal for workloads with steady-state usage.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances can be exchanged for other instance types or regions, or cancelled for a fee, through the Azure portal. However, the primary benefit is achieved by matching the reservation to your actual usage patterns.
