Reserved instance plan details

Question

challenges in Reserved instance plan.

Answer 1

Hi, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

When you buy a reservation, the discount can apply to other instances with attributes that are within the same size group. This feature is known as instance size flexibility. The flexibility of the discount coverage depends on the type of reservation and the attributes you pick when you buy the reservation.
When you purchase a reservation, it applies to VMs in the same family, which have a ratio value applied to them. For example, if you buy a DS4v2 that has a ratio of 8, you can have several options: You can use 8 VMs from the same family with a ratio of 1 that adds up to 8, or two VMs with a ratio of 4 = 8
Hope this helps
