Creating custom flavors for virtual machines
In the compute cluster, a configuration template for virtual machines is called a flavor. Flavors simplify VM deployment. They allow you to set the number of virtual CPU cores and the amount of RAM a virtual machine 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 |
To create a custom flavor
- On the Compute > Virtual machines > Flavors tab, click Create flavor.
-
In the Create flavor window, specify a flavor name, a number of virtual CPU cores, an amount of RAM, and then click Create.
