Recipes are preset resource configurations that you use to create domains. There are two types of recipes:
Resource recipe – Enables you to define the amount of cores, memory, and network resources that can be applied to domains that are created with the resource recipe.
Network recipe – Enables you to define network parameters that are applied to domains that are created with the network recipe.
You can use the default recipes or create your own. Alternatively, you can define resources in a one-time-use custom recipe while you are creating domains. See Choose an I/O Domain Creation Method.
