Flavors console¶
Overview¶
Flavors define the compute, memory, and storage resources allocated to virtual machines (VMs) or instances. Flavors allow you to specify the size and capabilities of instances you want to create, ensuring that each instance has the appropriate resources for its intended workload.
Select Compute > Flavors to view the Flavors console. The console lists all available flavors for your project. Your Rumble Cloud project may also contain custom flavors.

Flavor details¶
Here's a table summarizing the properties and attributes that you should understand in order to work with flavors in the Compute service:
| Property/Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A unique name identifying the flavor. |
| ID | A unique identifier automatically assigned to the flavor by OpenStack. |
| RAM | The amount of RAM (in MB) allocated to instances of this flavor. |
| VCPUs | The number of virtual CPUs allocated to instances of this flavor. |
| Disk | The size of the root disk (in GiB) for instances of this flavor. |
| Ephemeral | The size of the ephemeral disk (in GiB) for instances of this flavor (if applicable). |
| Swap | The size of the swap space (in MB) for instances of this flavor (if applicable). |
| RXTX Factor | The relative weight for network bandwidth allocation (used in some networking models). |
| Public | A boolean value indicating whether the flavor is accessible to all users or private. |
| Extra Specs | Key-value pairs defining additional specifications and capabilities for the flavor. |
| Is Public | A boolean value indicating whether the flavor is public or private. |
Understanding these properties and attributes is helpful for effectively selecting the appropriate size for your workloads based on performance and resource requirements.
