An enterprise runs several critical production databases and virtual machines that operate continuously 24/7. Historical analysis confirms that these workloads will maintain steady, predictable resource utilization for at least the next three years. The finance department wants to maximize cost savings and achieve long-term budget predictability for these resources.
Which cloud pricing model should the organization choose to fulfill these requirements?
Azure Reservations (also known as Reserved Instances for compute workloads) provide significant billing discounts when an organization commits to using specific cloud resources over a one-year or three-year period.
For steady-state, predictable workloads running continuously over multiple years, Azure Reservations offer the deepest cost discount and highest rate optimization without sacrificing availability or operational continuity.
