UI: Please change memory setting in flex compute offering from MiB to GiB #14082
Description
The required feature described as a wish
As a user, I'd like to be able to set the memory size of my instances in GiB without having to calculate the correct MiB value.
Entering values in MiB tends to lead to entering round numbers of 1,000. This then results in odd GiB values.
If a VM with less than 1 GiB is ever actually needed, you can enter 0.5 GiB, for example.
However, this use case is likely to occur much less frequently than higher GiB values.
Maybe it could include a drop-down menu next to the value that uses GiB as the default but also allows MiB to be selected. But I think GiB is the most helpful for most people.

🎯 Triage report
Requests that the memory-size input field for flexible compute offerings in the UI accept/display values in GiB instead of MiB, to avoid awkward MiB values when users intend round GiB numbers. This is a small UX/UI enhancement request.

Nice proposal @jl0815, do you have manpower to work on it?

@DaanHoogland
Since my colleagues and I aren't developers, unfortunately not. I also don't want to just throw in some AI-generated code here that I only half understand.
But we'd be happy to help with testing and verification in our test environment.

that’s ok @jl0815 , it does however mean that we cannot guarantee any delivery date ;) AI generated code is only appreciated if it is human reviewed/amended and tested. So you could go that path if you wish.

@saurabhkushwaha438 are you still planning to work on this issue and create a PR for the 24.0 release?
saurabhkushwaha438 commentedon Oct 7, 2026
Should I add the toggle menu everywhere MiB is currently used or for some specific component or section ?
DaanHoogland commentedon Oct 12, 2026
I suppose this is your call @saurabhkushwaha438 , but in general consistency is appreciated.
