Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific virtual machine size in a particular region for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you secure a lower hourly rate for the Standard_NC8as_T4_v3 VM instance. This is ideal for workloads that are expected to run continuously or for extended periods, as it eliminates the variability of on-demand pricing.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Reserved Instances are tied to the specific VM size and region purchased. While Azure offers some flexibility for exchanges, modifications are not guaranteed and depend on availability. It is crucial to accurately forecast your needs before purchasing.
