Default Node Types

IOMETE ships defaults tailored to each cloud provider, imported on first startup. You can edit or delete any of them at any time. See Node Types Overview for background and Node Type Sizing for guidance on choosing the right size.

On-Premises

On-premises defaults use fixed CPU and memory values with no cloud-provider overhead applied.

AWS

AWS defaults reflect allocatable CPU and memory after Kubernetes system overhead, so the numbers aren't round. Executor node types include spot-instance support.

GCP

GCP defaults map to specific machine types. Values reflect allocatable resources after Kubernetes overhead.

Azure

Azure defaults omit explicit CPU and memory columns because the values come directly from the VM SKU described in each row.
