Overview
- Use SSDs
- Static RAM (Dynamic when resources are a concern)
- vCPU:RAM (2:1) (NOTE: vCPUs cannot exceed number of logical processors)
- Example: 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM - or - 8 vCPU and 16 GB RAM
Calculate number of VMs:
- Reserve resources for host (i.e. 4 cores, 8 GB)
- Remaining resources can be used for VMs
