Regardless we have the performance benefit …

Why Smaller vCPU is better than Bigger vCPU in a fully probable contention environment

In VMware vSphere environment, why Smaller vCPU is better than Bigger vCPU (if the workloads only require few vCPU) in a fully probable contention environment? To explain this further let’s take an example of a four pCPU host that has four VMs, three with 1 vCPU and one with 4 vCPUs. At best only the …
