## Custom container instance types now available for all users

Jan 05, 2026 

[ Containers ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/) 

Custom instance types are now enabled for all [Cloudflare Containers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers) users. You can now specify specific vCPU, memory, and disk amounts, rather than being limited to pre-defined [instance types](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/platform-details/limits/#instance-types). Previously, only select Enterprise customers were able to customize their instance type.

To use a custom instance type, specify the `instance_type` property as an object with `vcpu`, `memory_mib`, and `disk_mb` fields in your Wrangler configuration:

TOML

```

[[containers]]

image = "./Dockerfile"

instance_type = { vcpu = 2, memory_mib = 6144, disk_mb = 12000 }


```

Individual limits for custom instance types are based on the `standard-4` instance type (4 vCPU, 12 GiB memory, 20 GB disk). You must allocate at least 1 vCPU for custom instance types. For workloads requiring less than 1 vCPU, use the predefined instance types like `lite` or `basic`.

See the [limits documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/platform-details/limits/#custom-instance-types) for the full list of constraints on custom instance types. See the [getting started guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/get-started/) to deploy your first Container,
