Instance Types

Instance types define the CPU and memory resource limits for compute instances.

Name	CPU	Memory
nano	0.5 cores	256 MB
micro	1 core	512 MB
small	1 core	1 GB
medium	2 cores	2 GB
large	4 cores	4 GB
xlarge	8 cores	8 GB

List available types via CLI:

nimbus compute instance-types

The instance type is set with --type when creating a compute instance:

nimbus compute run --name web --swarm SWARM_ID --image nginx --type medium

In manifests, use the type field:

compute:
  web:
    swarm: prod
    image: nginx
    type: medium
