Hello, Though I read some surveys about this, I'd rather directly ask the oVirt community this question, and especially to people using it as a production cluster : as an average, how many VM are running on each of your hosts? -- Nicolas ECARNOT

community this question, and especially to people using it as a production cluster : as an average, how many VM are running on each of your hosts? The host with 1TB RAM or 64GB? There is no meaningful average for two reasons : - Host specs (example above) - some believe in scale up (fewer but stronger hosts), some believe in scale out (more hosts, not as high end). - Workload specs - Virtual desktop VMs with 2-8GB of RAM, or large in-memory 512GB 'monster VMs'? We see both. So it can range from very few to hundreds. Y.

*This* is mainly the point I am expecting to get some stats. Literature about competitor's products are commonly describing few and strong hosts scenario, but I'd like to know how it goes in oVirt's world -- Nicolas ECARNOT

We've got around 100VMs with 175vCPUs running on 48pCPUs spread over 4 hosts. At the moment the storage layer is the limiting factor. VMs are a mix of postgres database servers wildfly application servers with geoserver and then some assorted infrastructure stuff and a couple of Windows servers. Regards, Joop
