==============
Manage flavors
==============
In OpenStack, a flavor defines the compute, memory, and storage
capacity of a virtual server, also known as an instance. As an
administrative user, you can create, edit, and delete flavors.
The following table lists the default flavors.
============ ========= =============== =============
Flavor VCPUs Disk (in GB) RAM (in MB)
============ ========= =============== =============
m1.tiny 1 1 512
m1.small 1 20 2048
m1.medium 2 40 4096
m1.large 4 80 8192
m1.xlarge 8 160 16384
============ ========= =============== =============
Create flavors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. Log in to the dashboard.
Choose the :guilabel:`admin` project from the drop-down
list at the top of the page.
#. In the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System
Panel` and click the :guilabel:`Flavors` category.
#. Click :guilabel:`Create Flavor`.
#. In the :guilabel:`Create Flavor` window, enter or select
the parameters for the flavor.
**Flavor info tab**
======================= =========================================
**Name** Enter the flavor name.
**ID** OpenStack generates the flavor ID.
**VCPUs** Enter the number of virtual CPUs to
use.
**RAM MB** Enter the amount of RAM to use, in
megabytes.
**Root Disk GB** Enter the amount of disk space in
gigabytes to use for the root (/)
partition.
**Ephemeral Disk GB** Enter the amount of disk space in
gigabytes to use for the ephemeral
partition. If unspecified, the value
is 0 by default.
Ephemeral disks offer machine local
disk storage linked to the life cycle
of a VM instance. When a VM is
terminated, all data on the ephemeral
disk is lost. Ephemeral disks are not
included in any snapshots.
**Swap Disk MB** Enter the amount of swap space (in
megabytes) to use. If unspecified,
the default is 0.
======================= =========================================
#. In the :guilabel:`Flavor Access` tab, you can control access to
the flavor by moving projects from the :guilabel:`All Projects`
column to the :guilabel:`Selected Projects` column.
Only projects in the :guilabel:`Selected Projects` column can
use the flavor. If there are no projects in the right column,
all projects can use the flavor.
#. Click :guilabel:`Create Flavor`.
