Available instance types
As in every other cloud service, hardware configurations are limited to pre-configured instance (virtual machine) types or flavors. Instance types comprise varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity and give you the flexibility to choose the appropriate mix of resources for your applications. Each instance type includes one or more instance sizes, allowing you to scale your resources to the requirements of your target workload.
