Configuring Supported Instance Types

You can customize the available instance types that are listed in the console for your cloud. To do this:

Modify the [instance_type] section of the console configuration file. Each instance type has a property for number of CPUs, memory (in megabytes), and disk size (in gigabytes). The default configuration file that is installed with the console is pre-populated with common instance types:

[instance_type]
m1.small.cpu: 1
m1.small.mem: 512
m1.small.disk: 5
c1.medium.cpu: 2
c1.medium.mem: 512
c1.medium.disk: 10
m1.large.cpu: 2
m1.large.mem: 1024
m1.large.disk: 15
m1.xlarge.cpu: 2
m1.xlarge.mem: 2048
m1.xlarge.disk: 20
c1.xlarge.cpu: 4
c1.xlarge.mem: 4096
c1.xlarge.disk: 20

Note

This configuration setting should be modifed to match if the default instance types are changed in the CLC configuration.
