vCPU guidelines — multiple vCPUs per virtual guest
What are the recommendations around assigning vCPU’s to virtual guests. I’ve read a lot about vmware recommending to not use multiple vCPU’s per virtual guest unless it`s really required. Are there any specific guidelines on how to allocate vCPU’s? This question is from the Microsoft Virtualization Chat on ITKnowledgeExchange.com
