Part 2. Design the Host Server Infrastructure

2 Main Parts

Map Guests to HostsGoal: Allocate workloads onto AS FEW SERVERS as possible

In this guide: One application on physical one application in a VM guest

Task 1: Determine Host Resource LimitsDecide the usage buffer for: CPU, memory, disk IOPS, disk capacity & network Mb/sInstallation standards + allow for bursts
