Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine resources in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing and a guarantee of capacity.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a reservation, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity. This is ideal for workloads that are consistently running and do not require frequent scaling up or down, as it locks in a favorable price.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While the reservation is tied to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, or use Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server licenses to further optimize costs.
