A shape is a template that determines the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and other resources that are allocated to an instance.
This topic provides basic information about the shapes that are available for bare metal instances, virtual machines (VMs), and dedicated virtual machine hosts.
Note
AMD shapes, X5-based and X6-based shapes, and high performance computing (HPC) shapes are not available in Government Cloud realms.

Flexible Shapes
A flexible shape is a shape that allows you to customize the number of OCPUs and the amount of memory when launching or resizing your VM. When you create a VM instance using the flexible shape, you select the number of OCPUs and the amount of memory that you need for the workloads that run on the instance. The network bandwidth and number of VNICs scale proportionately with the number of OCPUs. This flexibility enables you to build VMs that match your workload, allowing you to optimize performance and minimize cost.

Currently, flexible memory is available on VM.Standard.E3.Flex instances that run on AMD Rome processors. For this VM and processor combination, you can select from 1 to 64 OCPUs. The amount of memory allowed is based on the number of OCPUs selected. For each OCPU, you can select up to 64 GB of memory, with a maximum of 1024 GB total. The minimum amount of memory allowed is either 1 GB or a value matching the number of OCPUs, whichever is greater. For example, if you select 25 OCPUs, the minimum amount of memory allowed is 25 GB.
These resources are billed at a per-second granularity with a one-minute minimum. Optimize your costs by choosing the shape that matches your workload and by changing the shape when your workload changes. For example, you can configure the VM to maximize compute processing power by choosing a low core-to-memory ratio. Or, for applications like in-memory databases or big data processing engines, configure an instance with a high core-to-memory ratio. Modify the OCPUs and memory as your workload changes, scaling up to increase performance or scaling down to reduce costs.
The VM.Standard.E3.Flex shape, a VM standard shape, is a flexible shape.
Supported Regions and Images
Flexible shapes are supported in all regions in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure commercial realm except the US West (San Jose) and UAE East (Dubai) regions. The availability domain in which you create an instance using a flexible shape must have flexible shape hardware. For more information, see Regions and Availability Domains.
The following Oracle-provided platform images are compatible with flexible shapes. Use an image that was published in March 2020 (for Linux images) or April 2020 (for Windows images) or later.
Images- Oracle Autonomous Linux 7.x
- Oracle Linux 8.x
- Oracle Linux 7.x
- Oracle Linux 6.x (VMs only)
- CentOS 7.x
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Windows Server 2019 (VMs only)
- Windows Server 2016 (VMs only)
- Windows Server 2012 (VMs only)
Custom images are also supported, depending on the image. You must add flexible shape compatibility to the custom image, and then test the image on the flexible shape to ensure that it actually works on the shape.
