Instance Types
Instance types (flavours) are the building blocks for your computing needs. An instance is a running server that will fir your needs. There are several instance types at IFCA, so you should choose the best suited for your application. The available instance types are show below:

You can find the following instance type families:
General Purpose
These instance types belong to the M1 family and are best suited for general purpose applications that do not require high computing power or a large amount of memory. They will fit most of the applications.
Compute-optimized
Memory-optimized
Micro instances
m1.tiny is a special instance type that provides a very small amount of CPU, low memory and no additional disk.
