Hardware Configuration
VMs and cloud instances will look for the following properties in a AbstractMachineModel
to configure hardware:
- cpus
The number of CPUs on the virtual machine
- memory_mb
The amount of memory in megabytes
- disk_sizes
A sequence of disk sizes for primary and secondary disks. Provided in GiB.
- disk_config
A sequence of dicts configuring primary and secondary disks. The only key defined at this level is size, the size of the disk in GiB. If disk_config is provided, disk_sizes is ignored. The intent of disk_config is to permit MachineImplementation specific configuration of disks. Consult the specific machine implementations for details.
- nested_virt
Boolean indicating whether to allow nested virtualization
