Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific VM type in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees compute capacity.
Who benefits from Reserved VM Instances?
Organizations with stable, predictable workloads that are unlikely to change significantly over the commitment term benefit most. This includes businesses running core applications, databases, or web servers consistently.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While the reservation is tied to a specific VM type and region, Azure offers flexibility options. You can exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan your needs carefully upfront.
