# Create Flavor
You can create a new flavor and make it available to one or more tenants.
You can create a flavor such that the virtual machine instances created with the flavor can be assigned to hosts whose metadata key-value pairs match the metadata key-pairs of the flavor. While creating such a flavor, you must specify the host metadata for the flavor. The metadata must correspond to your currently defined host aggregates.
You must be an administrator to perform this operation.
To create a flavor, follow the steps given below.
1\. Log in to Clarity.
2\. Click Flavors in the left panel.
3\. Click Create a New Flavor seen in the top right corner.
4\. Enter the following details.
| **Field** | **Description** |
| --------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Name | Name of flavor |
| VCPUs | Number of Virtual CPUs |
| RAM | RAM with unit of measurement |
| Disk | Disk size with unit of measurement |
5\. Click Next.
6\. Click Assign Metadata to the key-value metadata of the host aggregate to the flavor, if you want to restrict the flavor to hosts belonging to a host aggregate only. This is an optional step.
7\. Click Next.
8\. Select the Available to all tenants check box if you want to make the flavor available to all tenants. If you want to make the flavor available to a few tenants, deselect the Available to all tenants check box and select the check boxes for the tenants for which you make the flavor available.
9\. Click Create.
The flavor is created successfully. The flavor is now available for creation of virtual machine instances.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.platform9.com/managed-openstack/5.8/flavour/flavors-create-flavor.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
