Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific virtual machine resources on Microsoft Azure 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 secure a lower per-hour rate for your compute resources than if you paid on a monthly, on-demand basis. This predictability helps in long-term cost management.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While the reservation guarantees capacity, changes to the instance type or region are generally managed through Azure's reservation modification capabilities, subject to availability and terms. It is best to confirm current Azure policies for modifications.
