Flavors of cloud instances

Instance flavors define the compute resources (vCPU and RAM) allocated to your Cloud instance. Select a flavor that matches your workload requirements and budget.


  • What is an instance flavor

    When creating an instance, you select a flavor to determine the performance level of that instance.

    Different workloads require different resource levels. For example:

    • Small websites or development environments may require minimal resources
    • Databases or production applications may require more CPU and memory

    For example, selecting the flavor s-g-1cpu-1gb provisions:

    • 1 vCPU
    • 1 GB RAM

    Instance flavors are charged at a rate per hour. 

    See pricing rules in xneelo Cloud and latest Cloud pricing.





  • Available instance flavors

    Below is the list of instance flavors currently available in xneelo Cloud.

    As customer needs grow, additional flavors may be introduced. If you require a specific configuration, please contact us.

    Instance flavor vCPU RAM
    s-g-1cpu-1gb 1 1 GB
    s-g-1cpu-2gb 1 2 GB
    s-g-2cpu-4gb 2 4 GB
    s-g-4cpu-8gb 4 8 GB
    s-g-4cpu-16gb 4 16 GB
    s-g-8cpu-16gb 8 16 GB
    s-g-8cpu-32gb
    		 8 32 GB
    s-g-16cpu-64gb 16 64 GB





  • Changing an instance flavor

    Your resource requirements may change over time.

    You can resize an instance by selecting a different flavor. This allows you to:

    • Increase resources to improve performance
    • Reduce resources to manage costs
    • Adjust to workload growth or reduced demand

  • Flavor naming convention

    Instance flavors follow a structured naming format that allows you to quickly identify the resources included.

    Naming structure:

    • [allocation]-[category]-[CPU]-[RAM]

    Example: 

    • s-g-2cpu-4gb 
    • Shared, General purpose, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM.

    Allocation

    Indicates whether compute resources are shared or dedicated.

    Code Meaning Description
    s Shared Instance runs on shared physical hardware alongside other customers

    Currently, only shared (s) flavors are available.

    Category

    Indicates the performance profile of the instance.

    Code Meaning Description
    g General purpose Balanced CPU and memory for a wide range of workloads

    General purpose flavors provide well-balanced performance and are not optimised for a specific workload type.

    CPU

    Indicates the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) allocated to the instance.

    Higher CPU counts support increased processing demand.

    RAM

    Indicates the amount of memory allocated to the instance, measured in gigabytes (GB).

    More RAM supports memory-intensive applications such as databases and caching systems.



Assist Note

When creating cloud instances you can try out a few different instance flavors and see what best suits your workload and your budget.
