Hi@akhtar,

To create image flavor in OpenStack, follow the below given steps.

1. List flavors to show the ID and name, the amount of memory, the amount of disk space for the root partition and for the ephemeral partition, the swap, and the number of virtual CPUs for each flavor.

   $ openstack flavor list
   

2. To create a flavor, specify a name, ID, RAM size, disk size, and the number of VCPUs for the flavor, as follows:

   $ openstack flavor create FLAVOR_NAME --id FLAVOR_ID --ram RAM_IN_MB --disk ROOT_DISK_IN_GB --vcpus NUMBER_OF_VCPUS

Hope this will help You.

Thank You
