Managing virtual machine flavors

You can customize how virtual machines are configured and scheduled by using flavors. In the compute cluster, a flavor is a configuration template for virtual machines. Flavors simplify VM deployment by allowing you to set the number of virtual CPU cores, the amount of RAM, and other resource characteristics a VM will use.

By default, five predefined flavors are created with the following parameters:

Name vCPUs Memory
tiny 1 512 MiB
small 1 2 GiB
medium 2 4 GiB
large 4 8 GiB
xlarge 8 16 GiB
