Server flavors#

When configuring a Cloud Server image through the Control Panel or the API, you chose a specific server flavor. A flavor is an available hardware configuration for a server. Each flavor has a unique combination of disk space and memory capacity. The server flavor that is specified in the Control Panel maps to a specific flavor ID in the Rackspace API. The following table outlines the mapping between flavor ID and the available flavors in the Control Panel.

For more information and details on flavors, see the Server Flavors section in the Rackspace Cloud Servers Developer’s Guide.

Note

  • The Standard Instance flavors are being phased out. Do not use them when adding servers.

  • The Server flavor names have been recently modified:
    • Performance 1 flavors are now General Purpose v1 flavors

    • Performance 2 flavors are now I/O v1 flavors

Use the List Flavors operation, described in the Rackspace Cloud Servers Developer’s Guide to get a list of all current servers.
