**''Flavor'': The flavor defines virtual machine hardware specifications. <p>The ''c1-3.75gb-36'' 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.</p> | **''Flavor'': The flavor defines virtual machine hardware specifications. <p>The ''c1-3.75gb-36'' flavor has one virtual CPU, 3.75GB of RAM (memory) and an ephemeral disk of 36GB.

**''Project Limits'': The green bars reflect the fraction of your available resources that will be consumed by the VM you are about to launch. If the bars become red, the flavor chosen will consume more resources than your project has available. Blue bars indicate any existing resources your project may be using. | **''Project Limits'': The green bars reflect the fraction of your available resources that will be consumed by the VM you are about to launch.
