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 one or three years. This commitment allows cloud providers like Microsoft Azure to offer you a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
Who should use a Reserved VM Instance?
Organizations with predictable workloads that will run continuously or for extended periods are ideal candidates. This includes businesses running core applications, databases, or development/testing environments that require consistent performance and cost management.
How does this differ from a pay-as-you-go VM?
Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility to start and stop VMs at any time, paying only for what you use. A Reserved Instance provides cost savings and guaranteed capacity for a fixed term, sacrificing some flexibility for predictability and lower overall cost for consistent usage.
