Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine 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, you lock in a lower hourly rate for the VM instance. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously or for extended periods, as it significantly reduces the overall cost of compute resources.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific instance type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit or the ability to exchange reservations, direct changes to the committed instance are not typically permitted without specific conditions.
