Description

We'd like a new image type (perhaps named "ci1.medium"?)

2 CPUs
2 GB RAM
30 GB space

For integration slaves we need 2 CPUs, but m1.medium is larger than we need. This would allow us to create more instances within a smaller quota.

This flavor should be limited to the 'integration' project, right? Or will you need it elsewhere?

We won't be needing it elsewhere. Perhaps in the future in the contintcloud project, but we can revisit that later.

Custom flavor ci1.medium should now be available for the Integration project.

Our goal for 30G space was based on the following estimate:

10G for system, 10G for git replication and 10G for workspace.

However we forgot that the allocated space for an instance is split between root (fixed at 18G, not 10G) and /mnt (the rest). The ci1.medium type currently produces an instance with a 12GB /mnt which is too small. We need at least 20G for /mnt.

@Andrew Can you increase ci1.medium to 40GB storage? (Like m1.medium)
