Understanding Flavor Names

Flavor names follow a naming convention that encodes their specifications:

Prefix	Meaning
C4i	Compute-optimized, 4th gen, Intel
M4i	Memory-optimized, 4th gen, Intel
G4i	General purpose, 4th gen, Intel
GPU	GPU-accelerated

Common sizes: small, medium, large, xlarge, 2xlarge, 4xlarge, 8xlarge.

Pricing

The flavor list and detail views include real-time pricing from the AceCloud pricing API:

• PRICE/HR — Hourly rate (pay-as-you-go)

• PRICE/MO — Monthly rate (approximate, based on full-month usage)

Pricing is displayed with the appropriate currency symbol for your account's billing region.

Pricing is fetched live from the API for the instances resource type. If the pricing API is temporarily unavailable, a dash (-) is shown instead of a price.
