Additionally, you must set the reservation affinity property of the VM to one of the following options: <ul> <li><a href="#consuming_instances_from_any_matching_reservation">Consume any matching reservation</a>—the VM can automatically consume any reservation with matching properties (default). This option is useful if you create and delete lots of VMs, and you want to use your reservations whenever possible. In this scenario, a VM can be created whether its properties match a reservation or not. If they match, the VM starts consuming the reservation depending on the reservation's <a href="/compute/docs/instances/reservations-overview#consumption-type">consumption order</a>.</li> <li><a href="#consuming_instances_from_a_specific_reservation">Consume a specific reservation</a>—the VM can consume only a specific reservation.
