[ovirt-users] Minimal resources for Engine

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi there.

I was reading this interesting URL someone just sent a while ago 
regarding hyperconvergence topic 
(https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2016/08/up-and-running-with-ovirt-4-0-and-gluster-storage/) 
and found the point about the optimal amount of resources for a Engine - 
16GB of RAM.

I just wanted to ask what component or feature eats up so much memory 
for that amount be the recommended. Or is it just in a hyperconverged 
scenario ?

Are there any components that can be optional that can reduce the amount 
of memory needed to run the Engine ?

Also with if the Data Warehouse runs in a separate host what would be 
the reduction in resources consumption, specially memory ?

Thanks

Fernando
