• --ram RAM — RAM memory, measured in GB 🧠
• --network-id NETWORK_ID [NETWORK_ID ...] — the ID of the network to attach to the instance. yes you can pass more than one, she's flexible 🌐
• --storage-type {tier1,tier3} — storage tier type. tier1 is SSD, tier3 is HDD 💾

these are the top-level ones, they apply to the whole thing:

• --token-file TOKEN_FILE — path to the IBM cloud token file 🔐
