# Machine Type

**Deka Flexi: Compute** provides various types of Virtual Machines (VM) which have been classified based on Memory, Storage, and Compute types. If you want to create a Virtual machine on Deka Flexi, you must first examine your application and workload system then you be able to select a VM machine based on the available machine types. The following types of machines are available in Deka Flexi:

1.  **General**, VM size provides a balanced CPU-to-memory ratio.
2.  **Compute Optimized**, delivers the highest performance CPU on Compute Engine and is optimized for compute-intensive workloads.
3. **Shared,** this provides a cost-effective method for running small applications that are not resource intensive.
4. **Memory  Optimized**, provides a high memory to CPU ratio, optimized for memory-intensive workloads.
