Hi,
Why are the flavors predefined, and not configured, or let's say that we provide
predefined instance types, and let a way to provide custom instance types
Our plan
was to provide couple of predefined types and let user create own if needed. Custom means
an extra type where you can specify anything when creating a VM (or use a template).
A change to one of the instance type's parameter(say, mem size) will change the type
to Custom while creating a VM. Otherwise the VM will be tied to its instance type and
update to the instance type will be global and reflected in all relevant VMs.
Thanks,
