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 Azure 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 this save my business money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you secure a lower hourly rate for the VM instance. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously or for extended periods, as it directly reduces your overall cloud expenditure.
Can I change the VM size or region later?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. While the instance is tied to a region, you can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms and conditions apply. It is best to plan your capacity needs carefully.
