Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using specific Azure VM types in a particular region for a 1- or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go rates. It helps in cost optimization for predictable workloads.
How does a Reserved Instance save money?
By committing to a 1- or 3-year term, you receive a discount on the compute charges for the reserved instances. This discount is applied automatically to matching running instances in your subscription. The longer the commitment, the greater the savings.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, or modify them to change the VM size or region, subject to Azure's terms and conditions. It is advisable to review the specific exchange and cancellation policies.
