Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine (like Standard_D8s_v5) in a particular region for a set term (3 years in this case). In return, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you lock in a lower hourly rate for your compute resources. This predictability helps in budgeting and reduces overall cloud expenditure for workloads that run continuously or for extended periods.
Can I change the VM instance type or region if my needs change?
While the reservation is for a specific instance type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply. It is best to plan your needs carefully before purchasing.
