Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine type in a particular region for a set term, typically 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 3-year term for the Standard_NC24s_v3 instance in the US Central region, you secure a lower per-hour rate than if you were to pay for the instance on a month-to-month basis.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are tied to the specific VM type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through reservation exchanges or modifications, it is best to ensure your needs align with the reservation at the time of purchase.
