Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific VM type in a specific region for a 1-year or 3-year term. This commitment allows Microsoft Azure to offer you a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a Reserved Instance, you secure a lower hourly rate for your compute resources. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or for predictable periods, as it eliminates the premium associated with on-demand pricing.
Can I change my VM instance type or region?
Reserved Instances are specific to the instance type and region chosen at the time of purchase. While Azure offers some flexibility through the Azure Reservations marketplace, direct changes to the commitment are not typically supported without specific conditions.
