About Flavors
An Infrastructure administrator determines the flavors available for assignment to virtual machine
instances. A flavor defines the size of compute resources (number of virtual CPUs, memory and
storage capacity) that can be assigned automatically to virtual machine instances in a cloud
configuration. The flavor options provide flexibility when the Cloud administrator initially sizes
compute resources for virtual machine instances.
