Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular Azure region for a 1-year or 3-year term. 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 1-year term, you pay a lower rate for the VM instance than if you were to pay for it on an hourly, on-demand basis. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or for predictable durations.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are tied to the specific VM type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit or by exchanging reservations, direct changes to the reserved instance itself are not typically permitted without specific Azure policies.
