Is there a common way to specify "Instance_type" for all providers?

[Nirmal Fernando]

Hi,

I've noticed that while in EC2 case, I should pass instance type as "m1.large" etc., but in Openstack-nova case it should be a number (1, 2.. etc.) into templateBuilder.hardwareId().

I think this is something to do with those providers' APIs, but is there something that JClouds could do to overcome this?

Hi Nirmal,

You can use TemplateBuilder to set the minimum required RAM and minimum required number of CPU cores (see #minRam and #minCores). There is an example of this in compute basics.

I hope that helps!

hm.... this will be a work around! Thanks for the pointer!

But, I'd like if I could just specify "m1.large" etc. in an abstract manner!
