The following table lists the available instance types and sizes based on memory and the number of vCPUs for a single V series node. Instances sizes can be different for V Series nodes in different ESXi hosts and the default size is Small.

Type	Memory	vCPU	Disk space	vNIC
Small	4GB	3vCPU	32GB	1 Management interface, 1 Tunnel interface, and 8 vTAP interfaces
Medium	8GB	4 vCPU
Large	16GB	8 vCPU
