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 1-year or 3-year term. This commitment provides significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing and guarantees compute capacity in the selected region.
What is the Standard_D2as_v5 VM series?
The Standard_D2as_v5 series is a generation of Azure virtual machines optimized for general-purpose workloads. It offers a balance of vCPUs, memory, and local SSD storage, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent performance.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are tied to a specific VM size and region at the time of purchase. While Azure offers some flexibility through reservation exchanges or modifications, direct changes to the reserved instance itself are not typically supported.
