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 a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a reservation, you pay a lower rate for the compute capacity. This is ideal for workloads that are consistently running and predictable, as it eliminates the higher cost associated with on-demand instances.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are generally tied to the specific instance type and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility for exchanges, modifications are not guaranteed and depend on specific program terms and availability.
