Episode 12: Azure Reservations

Show Notes

This podcast, its content and all things relating to the Sussex Azure User Group are NOT affiliated with Microsoft or any of its partners! All thoughts, views, opinions are of the talkers own minds!

Episode 12 is here! This time we are trying something a little different. Short, sharp and precise episodes covering a specific topic in 10-15 minutes; wish us luck!

Azure Reservations have been around for a little while but more and more services have been enabled to be reserved since their initial creation. From VMs to CosmosDB, there is likely a reservation for a service you utilise today!

In this episode we cover what reservations are, what you can reserve, when you should reserve, how you can identify/get alerted to reserve and the commercial options you have in purchasing and managing them.
