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.
Who should consider a Reserved VM Instance?
Organizations with predictable and steady-state workloads that do not change significantly month-to-month are ideal candidates. This includes hosting critical business applications, databases, or backend services that require consistent availability.
