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 one-year or three-year term. This commitment provides significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing for workloads that run consistently.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a specific VM size and region for a year, you receive a discounted rate from Microsoft. This is ideal for applications that run 24/7 or for extended periods, as it guarantees your costs will not fluctuate based on market rates.
