A flavor defines the configuration for :ref:`Nodes <node>` in a :ref:`Layer`, including their:
- Provider Type (e.g. EC2)
- Launch Parameters (region, zone, etc)
The :ref:`Controller` comes pre-seeded with default flavors for supported providers. The default flavors typically use Deis-optimized images for faster provisioning.
