Published date: 08 November, 2022
The new virtual machine software reservations enable savings on your virtual machine software costs when you make a one- to three-year commitment for plans offered by third-party publishers such as Canonical, Citrix and Red Hat.
- You can choose to pay monthly or up-front
- You can change the size of the deployed virtual machine, and Microsoft handles the application of reservation benefits and overage charges
- You do not have to redeploy your workloads to use the reservation benefits
