Understanding Tiers

Each service type has multiple tiers that define the resource allocation:

• Tier 1: Basic resources (1 compute unit)
• Tier 2-6+: Progressively more resources (more vCPUs, RAM, disk)

Use aleph pricing <service> to see the specific resources allocated for each tier.

Going Beyond Tiers: While tiers provide predefined resource configurations, you can customize and exceed tier limits by directly specifying --vcpus, --memory, or --rootfs-size when creating instances. See the Resource Allocation section in the Instance documentation for more details on custom resource configuration.
