• General purpose compute:
  • gx: based on Intel Xeon CPU's
• Prioritized compute. Used for some applications where short response-times are crucial, and it is proven that the general purpose is not sufficient.
  • px: based on Intel Xeon CPU's
• Scavenger compute. For compute-loads which is not time-sensitive, but it is nice with as much CPU as possible, the schavenger scavenger class allows us to allocate many CPU's that can be heavily utilized without affecting time-sensitive applications running on the same hardware.
  • sx: based on Intel Xeon CPU's
• Dedicated compute. Some compute-loads need dedicated hardware for predictible performance. Flavors of this class get dedicated CPU's not shared with anyone. 
  • dx: based on Intel Xeon CPU's
  • de: based on AMD EPYC CPU's.

• gx3s.8c32r.e500g: A flavor with Intel Haswell cores (gx3), default storage at a local SSD (s), 8CPU+32GB RAM (8c32r), and an extra disk of 500GB backed by the default storage configuration (e500g).

NVMe

Flavors that have NVMe-disks are described with the extension "nvme<SIZE>".

• For instance the flavor "x5.12c64r.nvme3t2" have 12 Cascade-Lake cores, 64GB RAM and a 3.2TB NVMe-disk attached.

Custom flavors

Some of our tenants have requirements not fitting the "general purpose" use-cases, and is investing in dedicated compute-nodes equipped with accellerators, local storage and similar. These tenants usually gets custom flavors (Identified by the keyword 'custom' in its name) providing access to these resources. The meaning behind each of the custom flavors is given to the personell needing access.
