About the options for the Terremark Provider
You must create Update CPU and Memory options of the Post-deploy Action option types for the Terremark Provider. The Update CPU and Memory option allows you to increase the CPU core and memory size of a provisioned virtual machine (VM).
For the memory option, you can create choices for memory size based on allowed memory sizes in Terremark Enterprise Cloud.
For example, you can create Microsoft Windows VMs in Terremark Enterprise Cloud with a minimum memory size of 256 MB and a maximum memory size of 16,384 MB; each choice must be a multiple of 4. Thus, you can create 256 MB, 1,024 MB, 2,048 MB, and 3,072 MB as choices.
For the CPU option, you can create option choices for 1, 2, 4, and 8 CPUs.
