Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular Azure 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.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate than the on-demand price. This provides predictable costs and substantial savings over the life of the reservation.
What happens at the end of the 3-year term?
At the end of the 3-year term, the reservation expires, and your VM will revert to the standard pay-as-you-go pricing model unless you choose to purchase a new reservation or change your deployment.
