200: A single Linode Type.
The ID representing the Linode Type.
The Linode Type's label is for display purposes only.
Amount of RAM included in this Linode Type.
The Disk size, in MB, of the Linode Type.
The number of VCPU cores this Linode Type offers.
The class of the Linode Type.
We currently offer six classes of compute instances:
nanode- Nanode instances are good for low-duty workloads, where performance isn't critical. Note: As of June 16th, 2020, Nanodes became 1 GB Linodes in the Cloud Manager, however, the API, the CLI, and billing will continue to refer to these instances as Nanodes.standard- Standard Shared instances are good for medium-duty workloads and are a good mix of performance, resources, and price. Note: As of June 16th, 2020, Standard Linodes in the Cloud Manager became Shared Linodes, however, the API, the CLI, and billing will continue to refer to these instances as Standard Linodes.dedicated- Dedicated CPU instances are good for full-duty workloads where consistent performance is important.premium(limited Regions) - In addition to the features of Dedicated instances, Premium instances come equipped with the latest AMD EPYC™ CPUs, ensuring your applications are running on the latest hardware with consistently high performance. Only available in Regions with "Premium Plans" in theircapabilitiesgpu(limited Regions) - Linodes with dedicated NVIDIA Quadro® RTX 6000 GPUs accelerate highly specialized applications such as machine learning, AI, and video transcoding. Only available in Regions with "GPU Linodes" in theircapabilitieshighmem- High Memory instances favor RAM over other resources, and can be good for memory hungry use cases like caching and in-memory databases. All High Memory plans contain dedicated CPU cores.
