# DCD Default Settings

You can set the default values for your [<mark style="color:blue;">Virtual Data Centers (VDCs)</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/glossary-of-terms#vdc). Each time you open a new VDC, [<mark style="color:blue;">DCD</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/glossary-of-terms#dcd) will place your resources in the preset location, assigning them the same number of cores, memory size, [<mark style="color:blue;">storage</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/glossary-of-terms#storage) capacity, and reserved [<mark style="color:blue;">IP addresses</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/glossary-of-terms#ip-address). For example, you can specify that all new VDCs must be located in Berlin or that all processors will use the Intel architecture.

To edit the default settings, follow these steps:

1. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **My Profile** > **DCD Default Settings**.
2. A **My settings** window will open up. Set the default values for **Session settings**, **Data Center settings**, **Server settings**, **Storage settings**, and **IP settings** from the respective drop-down lists.

![My Settings lets you set defaults for any infrastructure created in subsequent data centers](/files/a2jtj0qBmRLGkiU6xAMj)

{% hint style="success" %}
**Result:** Your new settings will be updated immediately. You can undo your changes either by selecting **Reset** or **Reset All**.
{% endhint %}
