Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine type in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity for your chosen VM.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you pay a substantially lower rate per hour for the Standard_F4s_v2 VM than if you were using a pay-as-you-go model. This predictability helps in budgeting and reduces overall cloud expenditure for consistent workloads.
Can I change the VM size or region if my needs change?
While the reservation locks in the specific VM type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms and potential fees apply. It is best to plan your needs carefully for the 3-year term.
