Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific virtual machine types in a particular Azure region for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. This commitment allows Azure to reserve capacity for you and provides significant discounts compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you receive a lower per-unit price for the compute resources. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously or for extended periods, as it stabilizes your cloud expenditure.
Can I change the VM size or region later?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange a reservation for another with different attributes or cancel it for a fee, though specific terms apply. It is best to plan your needs carefully to maximize savings.
