This particular flavor has one virtual CPU, 3.75 GB of RAM (memory) and an ephemeral disk of 36GB. Ephemeral disks are disks created with the image and reside on the local hardware running the VM. 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 2.2G, 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. | ||
