What are Azure Reserved Instances (RIs) ?

Azure RIs are a way of purchasing Azure base compute with a great price and flexibility, in return for upfront payment. This new offering is now available on Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Program and enables customers to save up to 72% on IaaS compute by purchasing a VM for a 1 or 3-year period.

Reserved Instances Choices & Customer Commitment

Customer simply needs to choose the instance (D12_v2 or FS4, for example), the datacenter (Europe West, for example), the Term (1 or 3-year) and the assignment level (company or department). Customers do not need to decide the Operating System (Windows or Linux) at the time of purchase.
