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 (e.g., 1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a longer term, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity, effectively pre-purchasing the instance at a discounted price. This shields you from potential price increases and offers substantial savings over the reservation period.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While the reservation locks in the instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You may be able to exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan your needs carefully before purchasing.
