 **''Availability Zone'': There is only one zone; do not change its name.
 **''Instance Name'': Enter a name for your virtual machine. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname#Restrictions_on_valid_host_names Rules] for valid host names apply.
-**''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. For a first attempt pick either 'c1-3.75gb-36' flavor on east-cloud or 'c1-7.5gb-30' flavor on west-cloud. For more details see [[Virtual machine flavors]].
 **''Instance Count'': Number of virtual machines to create.
 **''Instance Boot Source'': What source should be used to boot the VM. <p>''Boot from image'' indicates that you wish to boot from an already created image. Another common option is ''Boot from volume'' which allows one to boot from an existing volume which is commonly done with "p" flavors.</p>
