Azure Reserved Instances

Azure Reserved Instances (RIs) are a cost-saving option that allows you to commit to using Azure Virtual Machines for one or three years in exchange for discounted pricing compared to pay-as-you-go rates. Reserved Instances offer significant savings, particularly for workloads with predictable and consistent usage patterns. When you purchase RIs, you can choose from various VM sizes, types, and regions to match your requirements. Azure RIs provide benefits such as capacity reservation, which ensures that you have access to the necessary resources even during peak demand periods. By leveraging Reserved Instances, organizations can optimize their cloud spending, improve budget predictability, and reduce overall infrastructure costs.
