## How does the instance reservation work?

You don't need to assign the reservation to specific Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers. An already running Azure Database for PostgreSQL (or ones that are newly deployed) will automatically get the benefit of reserved pricing. By purchasing a reservation, you're pre-paying for the compute costs for a period of one or three years. As soon as you buy a reservation, the Azure database for PostgreSQL compute charges that match the reservation attributes are no longer charged at the pay-as-you go rates. A reservation does not cover software, networking, or storage charges associated with the PostgreSQL Database servers. At the end of the reservation term, the billing benefit expires, and the Azure Database for PostgreSQL are billed at the pay-as-you go price. Reservations do not auto-renew. For pricing information, see the [Azure Database for PostgreSQL reserved capacity offering](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/postgresql/). </br>

You can exchange a reservation for another reservation of the same type, you can also exchange a reservation from Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server with Flexible Server. It's also possible to refund a reservation, if you no longer need it. The Azure portal can be used to exchange or refund a reservation.

You may save up to 65% on compute costs with reserved instances. In order to find the discount for your case, please visit the [Reservation blade on the Azure portal](https://aka.ms/reservations) and check the savings per pricing tier and per region. Reserved instances help you manage your workloads, budget, and forecast better with an upfront payment for a one-year or three-year term. You can also exchange or cancel reservations as business needs change.

For example, let's suppose that you are running one general purpose Gen5 – 32 vCore PostgreSQL database, and two memory-optimized Gen5 – 16 vCore PostgreSQL databases. Further, let's supposed that you plan to deploy within the next month an additional general purpose Gen5 – 8 vCore database server, and one memory-optimized Gen5 – 32 vCore database server. Let's suppose that you know that you will need these resources for at least one year. In this case, you should purchase a 40 (32 + 8) vCores, one-year reservation for single database general purpose - Gen5 and a 64 (2x16 + 32) vCore one year reservation for single database memory optimized - Gen5
