- flavor
A flavor is an available hardware configuration for a database instance. Each flavor has a unique combination of memory capacity and priority for CPU time.
- volume
A volume is user-specified storage that contains the MySQL data directory. Volumes are automatically provisioned on shared Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) storage area networks (SAN) that provide for increased performance, scalability, availability and manageability. Applications with high I/O demands are performance optimized and data is protected through both local and network RAID-10. Additionally, network RAID provides synchronous replication of volumes with automatic failover and load balancing across available storage clusters.
