Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance allows you to pre-purchase compute capacity on Microsoft Azure for a one or three-year term at a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This is ideal for workloads with predictable usage.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a specific VM size and region for a set term, you secure a lower hourly rate. This predictability helps in budgeting and reduces overall cloud expenditure for steady-state workloads.
