Compute templates
Compute templates let you specify settings for images that are deployed with the template. You can set processor, memory, and other features in a compute template.
You will select a compute template when you deploy an image. You can also create new compute templates on the Configuration page.
You can specify basic settings, such as memory, processors, and disks.
IBM® Cloud Infrastructure Center provides the following compute templates by default. You can use any of these default compute templates, or you can create your own customized compute templates.
Table 1. Compute templates provided with IBM® Cloud Infrastructure Center by default on KVM.
| Name | Processors | Memory (MB) | Disk size (GB) | Ephemeral size (GB) | Swap size (GB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| m1.tiny | 1 | 4096 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
| m1.small | 2 | 8192 | 20 | 0 | 0 |
| m1.medium | 4 | 16384 | 40 | 0 | 0 |
| m1.large | 8 | 32768 | 80 | 0 | 0 |
| m1.xlarge | 16 | 65536 | 160 | 0 | 0 |
Table 2. Compute templates provided with IBM® Cloud Infrastructure Center by default on z/VM®.
| Name | Processors | Memory (MB) | Disk size (GB) | Ephemeral size (GB) | Swap size (GB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| tiny | 1 | 4096 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
| small | 2 | 8192 | 20 | 0 | 0 |
| medium | 4 | 16384 | 40 | 0 | 0 |
| large | 8 | 32768 | 80 | 0 | 0 |
| xlarge | 16 | 65536 | 160 | 0 | 0 |
| xxlarge | 32 | 131072 | 320 | 0 | 0 |
Note: For z/VM®® hypervisor, if boot from volume is used and no dasd group configured, a V-DISK is used for the swap disk and the maximum allowed swap size of the virtual machine is 2GB; Otherwise a minidisk will be created from the dasd group and used as the swap disk.
Note: compute template and placement for additional information.
