Flavor

Flavor is a virtual hardware configuration profile that defines the resource allocation required for a virtual machine (VM) or instance, including the number of vCPUs, amount of memory, and root disk size. Flavors are a critical component of the Compute (Nova) service, enabling users to create consistent and manageable templates for compute resources within a cloud platform.

Create Flavor​

  1. Navigate to Administrator > Compute > Flavors, then select + CREATE FLAVOR.

  2. Configure the following options

    • Architecture option is pre-configured for X86 Architecture
    • Select the General Purpose type.
    • Configure a name for your flavor.
    • Assign the number of vCPU cores.
    • Set the Ram size/ memory in GiBs. /assets/compute/flavors/flavor_2.png
  3. Assign projects to gain access control by selecting before starting flavor create by clicking Confirm. Step can be remodify by clicking Previous : Params Setting button.

    Access Control is used for assgining flavors to specific projects, which set to Public by default.
