*''Flavor'': <code>c1-3.75gb-36</code> | *''Flavor'': The flavor defines virtual machine hardware specifications. <p>The <code>c1-3.75gb-36</code> flavor has one virtual CPU, 3.75GB of RAM (memory) and an ephemeral disk of 36GB. Ephemeral disks are disks created and destroyed with the instance; they reside on the local hardware running the virtual machine. Flavors starting with a "p" do not have an extra ephemeral disk and thus no "-##" on the end. They also have a very small root disk of only 2.2GB, with a typical OS taking about 770MB of that. The root disk, as you might have guessed, is mounted at the root of the Linux file system. Flavors starting with a "c" have an extra ephemeral disk attached, as well as a 20GB root disk. | ||
*''Instance Count'': Number of virtual machines to create. | |||
