Managed Instance Reservation
papostolidisthis is what I have done it. I have created MIs and wanted to reserve them for longer period of time. Currently we are signed up with Hybrid Benefit (our licence) but we want to reserve them for 3 years and pay upfront however the amount to be paid is different than what documentation is specifying.
mrktos Hi again, the Reservation is per vCore. If you see the name at the reservation page says "SQL Database Managed Instance General Purpose - Compute Gen5" , not specifying cores. As per the document "The vCore reservation discount is applied automatically to the number of SQL Database instances that match the SQL Database reserved capacity reservation scope and attributes"
So if we do the math:
1.548,00 for 3 years is 43,00 per month
344,00 is the cost of an 8 vCore SQL Database Managed Instance General Purpose - Compute Gen5, so it is 43,00 per core.
buying one vCore reservation means you will get discount for 1 of the 8 vCores.

papostolidisnow it makes sense - why they did not specify that the listed price is per core? Thanks for clarification.
