Choosing Node Flavors/Sizes

During the setup of new nodes in a cluster you can select a respective “flavor” for that node.

Flavors determine the amount of processing cores (“CPUs”), Memory (“GB RAM”), and disk space (“GB Disk”) of the respective node.

Flavors

A good practice for choosing the right flavor for your project is going through the following steps:

  1. Start by selecting a small flavor.
  2. Evaluate the performance of the desired use case.
  3. Pick a larger flavor in case of any issues.

Changing the flavor of a node at any point in time is as easy as following these steps:
