The 66 percent saving is based on one Azure Database for MySQL Single Server Memory Optimized - Compute Gen5 in the Poland Central region running for 36 months at a pay-as-you-go rate; reduced rate for a three-year reserved capacity.

  • To buy a reservation, you must have the owner role or reservation purchaser role on an Azure subscription that's of one of the following types:
    • Enterprise (MS-AZR-0017P or MS-AZR-0148P)
    • Pay-As-You-Go (MS-AZR-0003P or MS-AZR-0023P)
    • Microsoft Customer Agreement
  • Cloud solution providers can use the Azure portal or Partner Center to purchase Azure Reservations.

  • For more information about who can purchase a reservation, see Buy an Azure reservation.

Offer details - For Azure SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance, you make a commitment for SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance use for one or three years to get a significant discount on the compute costs. To purchase reserved capacity, you need to specify the Azure region, deployment type, performance tier, and term.

You don't need to assign the reservation to a specific database or managed instance. Matching existing deployments that are already running or ones that are newly deployed automatically get the benefit. Hence, by purchasing a reserved capacity, existing resources infrastructure wouldn't be modified and thus no failover/downtime is triggered on existing resources. By purchasing a reservation, you commit to usage for the compute costs for one or three years. As soon as you buy a reservation, the compute charges that match the reservation attributes are no longer charged at the pay-as-you go rates.

For more information, see Save compute costs with reserved capacity - Azure SQL Database & SQL Managed Instance.

For Azure Database for MySQL, you make an upfront commitment on MySQL server for a one or three year period to get a significant discount on the compute costs. To purchase Azure Database for MySQL reserved capacity, you need to specify the Azure region, deployment type, performance tier, and term.

You don't need to assign the reservation to specific Azure Database for MySQL servers. An already running Azure Database for MySQL or ones that are newly deployed, automatically get the benefit of reserved pricing. By purchasing a reservation, you're prepaying for the compute costs for one or three years. As soon as you buy a reservation, the Azure database for MySQL compute charges that match the reservation attributes are no longer charged at the pay-as-you go rates. A reservation doesn't cover software, networking, or storage charges associated with the MySQL Database server. At the end of the reservation term, the billing benefit expires. Azure Database for MySQL usage is then billed at the pay-as-you go price.

For more information, see Prepay for compute with reserved capacity - Azure Database for MySQL.

  • Estimated savings are calculated based on your current on-demand rate.
