Performance

vCPU topology, NUMA, huge pages, virtio, I/O tuning, memory behavior, and virtualization contention.

    CPU topology, NUMA, and huge pages

    Topology tuning is useful when measurement shows scheduler movement, remote memory, translation pressure, or noisy neighbor contention. It can reduce flexibility and worsen performance when copied blindly. Establish host

    Measure before tuning

    Performance work begins with a workload statement and synchronized host/guest evidence. Change one constraint at a time and preserve a rollback definition. Baseline capture Record the experiment Capture workload version,

    Virtio and guest disk I/O

    Start with paravirtualized devices and a storage safe cache policy. Tune queues and I/O threads only after separating guest demand from host and backend limits. Inspect the path Design variables virtio blk is simple and
