Instance Reservations

Reservations allow you to lock in lower pricing for your CloudRift instances. Instead of paying on-demand rates, you can convert running instances into reserved ones and save on costs.

How Reservations Work​

  1. Rent an instance as usual through the CloudRift Console or API.
  2. Convert to reserved — Once your instance is running, you can convert it to a reservation to lock in a lower rate for a specified duration.
  3. Update duration — You can extend or adjust the reservation duration while it's active.

Reservations are automatically unbound when an instance is deactivated or terminated.

Converting a Running Instance​

You can convert any running instance into a reserved one directly from the CloudRift Console. Navigate to your running instance and use the reservation conversion option to select your desired duration and see the savings.

Managing Reservations​

Reservations can be managed through the CloudRift Console, CLI, and REST API. See the API documentation for the full list of reservation operations.
