37:45 vHost Hardware

What is a vHost

What does Steve consider

network

drives

RAM

CPU

Lots of compute nodes vs a few large nodes

Stage 1 - is it viable

$1k-50k quotes

Started with 2 vdevs with 3 drives

Stay under 85%

Stage 2 Scale up

DELL EMC POWEREDGE R7425

8 BAY LFF SERVER

2x AMD EPYC 7451

H330 3 PCI RISER RPS

DELL PowerEdge R6525

1U Server

2 x AMD EPYC 7542 2.9Ghz CPU

256 GB No HDD

Can save a lot buying used

Local vs Central storage

Data centralized

qcow2 on vHost

2 vdevs

2 disks per vdev

Dell EMC KTN-STL3 drive shelf

15 disks in 2U

Requires LSI SAS9200-8e

NetApp DS4246

24 disks in 4U

Requires LSI SAS9200-8e

QSFP SFF-8436 Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable

Don't store Nextcloud data on OS qcow2 disk

There will always be a single point of failure

Change ZFS settings based on data being stored

Easiest way to get a vHost up and running

KVM vs "appliance OS"

Bridging vs MAC vTap

RAM is likely your biggest constraint

Ubuntu libvirt doc
