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 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 lock in a lower hourly rate for the VM instance. This is particularly beneficial for workloads that are expected to run continuously or for extended periods.
Can I change the region or instance type later?
While the reservation is tied to a specific region and instance type, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, but it is best to plan for your long-term needs to maximize savings.
