Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?

How does this reservation save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the Standard_D16_v5 instance in US West 2, you lock in a lower hourly rate than if you were to pay for the VM on a month-to-month basis. This can lead to substantial savings over the life of the reservation.
