Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular 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 a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate. This reduces your effective hourly cost for the duration of the reservation, leading to substantial savings for steady-state workloads.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations, though terms and conditions apply. It is recommended to carefully plan your needs before purchase to maximize savings.
