I am currently testing openstack for windows guests (XP and 7). I have deployed openstack "all in one" on system with following specs
Processor corei5. (4 physical cores and 8 Threads with HT Technology)
RAM 8 GB.
HD 500 GB.
I have created 4 windows xp guests with 512MB RAM and 1VCPU.
On each windows guest i have installed visual studio 2008 only.
In nova.conf CPU Over-Commit ratio is 2 for better performance (as mentioned in openstack operation guide).
Using KVM as hyerpvisor.
I have observed poor performance when simultaneously using visual studio in four windows instances. How i can improve performance ? Should i use KVM or Hyper-V ? or any other suggestion ?
