What are Microsoft Azure Reservations?<\/h2>\n

Reservations help organizations cut costs in Azure by committing to a 1-year or 3-year<\/a> term for services such as virtual machine compute. Committing allows you to get a discount on the resources you use. Reservations can significantly reduce your resource costs by up to 72% compared to pay-as-you-go prices. Reservations offer billing discounts without affecting the runtime state of your resources. Once a reservation is purchased, the associated discount is automatically applied to the relevant resources, providing you with immediate cost savings.<\/p>\n

You can pay for a reservation up front or monthly. The total cost of up-front and monthly reservations is the same and you do not pay any extra fees when you choose to pay monthly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are utilization alerts for Microsoft Azure Reservations?<\/h2>\n

Utilization alerts are email notifications that are automatically being sent to admins whenever a Reservation exhibits low utilization. With Reservations, savings are only made if the Reservations are used, stopping Pay-As-You-Go charges. Administrators can view utilization rates in the Azure Management Portal<\/a>. With utilization alerts, administrators are now more likely to notice low utilization rates and can make informed decisions in time.<\/p>\n
