Azure Reserved Instances can only be assigned to one subscription.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. They can be assigned to multiple subscriptions
• D. They require monthly payments

Answer: (A)

Reserved Instances in Azure include a scope setting that determines where the discount applies. You can allocate an RI to a single subscription, or you can choose a shared scope that allows the reservation to apply to eligible VMs across multiple subscriptions within the same enrollment.

Because of this shared capability, the idea that an RI can only be assigned to one subscription isn’t entirely accurate. If you have multiple subscriptions under the same enrollment, you can place the reservation in a shared scope so several subscriptions benefit from it.

In short, RIs offer flexibility through scope choices, not a strict one-subscription limit.
