Virtual Machine Memory

Virtual Machine Memory

To ensure high availability, scalability, and efficient resource management within the ITS Private Cloud environment.

Limiting VM memory to 256GB promotes:

• High Availability (HA): Ensures VMs can be restarted on alternate hosts during failure events.

• Scalability: Prevents resource monopolization, allowing equitable usage across multiple workloads.

• Operational Efficiency: Improves capacity planning and reduces resource fragmentation.

Exceptions

Requests for VM configurations exceeding this limit must include a justification and are subject to capacity review and approval by the ITS Private Cloud team.
