We are planning to add this in a coming docs sprint of the API docs.

Jason, Robert,

Some information about Instance Types has been added to the new 4.0 REST API Guide, though it is yet to be reviewed by the documentation team:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/single/rest-api-guide/#services-instance_type

Please let me know if you feel that any detail is missing.

Moving this bug to ON_QA while the content is pending docs review.
