Description Arik 2020-11-24 18:21:06 UTC
We'd like to mark the 'instance-type' related functionality as deprecated (add/remove/update custom instance types, using the pre-defined instance types that come out of the box with RHV as well as custom instance types when creating/updating VMs)

Arik, 

can you point to where this is documented? 

There are many references to working with instance types in our documents - starting with https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/administration_guide/index#sect-Instance_Types

Is something changing in the Administration Portal UI?

Hi Eli,

Yes, [1] covers the add/update/remove operations on instance type.
I see [2] covers how to use them in create/update VM dialogs.
Nothing changes for the time being, it is deprecated but not removed yet.
