Fine.
Deploy with way too much.
Monitor for 2+ months.
See that 512MB is needed and 1 CPU.
Spend 10 seconds to reduce the memory allocation and CPU to the VM. Next
reboot, solved. System monitoring isn't a waste of time.
Right-sizing isn't a waste of time.
Being able to have 5 more VMs per physical server **is** a cost savings,
after all. We aren't aiming for 100% utilization, 80% on CPU is fine.
Having a little free RAM for VM spikes is useful too.
BTW, KVM does core memory sharing too, these days. No need to spend
$12K for VM licenses, plus $1K for any addon - you know - like backup
software. VMware is impressive and at that price, it should be.
I need to go away now. Have an idea.
