The Reserved pricing option allows you to commit to one or three-year terms for virtual machine usage, providing significant discounts compared to pay-as-you-go rates for workloads that run continuously. This is ideal for always-on services with predictable usage patterns. Pay-as-you-go pricing offers flexibility but can be more expensive over time for constant workloads. Spot pricing is suitable for workloads that can tolerate interruptions, not for critical services that need to run continuously. Consumption-based pricing refers to the pay-per-use model but does not inherently offer discounts for predictable, long-term usage.
