Documentation / Instance types

Instance types with an embedded power profile

Every instance_type accepted by [green.cloud.services] and by [green.broker_static], with the idle and maximum wattage the SPECpower model interpolates between. 356 entries, table vintage 2026-04-24 (CCF aligned).

An unlisted type is not an error. perf-sentinel warns once at startup, naming the type, and falls back to a provider-level average: the figure gets coarser, nothing breaks. That warning is also how you check your own type without reading this page. When your hardware is absent and you know its draw, declare it directly instead, which is exact rather than approximated:

toml

[green.cloud.services]
"my-service" = { idle_watts = 45.0, max_watts = 120.0 }

Where the numbers come from, and why a family maps to a coefficient rather than to a measured machine: Methodology and 05 · GreenOps & carbon. Configuring the scraper: Configuration.

This page is generated from the embedded table by scripts/generate-instance-types-doc.py, and a test fails the build if the two ever disagree. Do not edit it by hand.
