With savings plan providing the flexibility automatically, we’re adjusting our reservations exchange policy. You can continue to exchange VM sizes (with instance size flexibility) but we'll no longer support exchanging instance series or regions for Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances, Azure Dedicated Host reservations, and Azure App Services reservations. For a limited time you may [trade-in](../savings-plan/reservation-trade-in.md) your Azure reserved instances for compute for a savings plan.

Learn more about [Azure savings plan for compute](../savings-plan/index.yml) and how it works with reservations.
