**Configure Container Performance**

You can check the available container performance on [this page](https://docs.arkain.io/user-guide/dashboard/container/container-specifications).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable the advanced feature (optional)**

You can enable the advanced features such as [**Code Supporter**](/user-guide/arkain-ai/code-supporter.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
The cost for using the advanced feature such as **Code Supporter** is added to your container cost. However, when using a GPU container, there is no additional charge for this feature; instead, your allocated **GPU compute and memory resources** will be reduced.

GPU containers are created with **30GB of storage by default**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**

* Once upgraded, storage **cannot be downgraded.**
* If you **exceed your free storage**, **additional charges** will apply based on your usage.
* You can also **upgrade storage after the container has been created**.
