Best Practices: Performance Optimization Tips
A glimpse into our Hyper-V optimization playbook:
Right-Sizing VMs
Avoid over-provisioning vCPU and RAM to prevent resource contention and improve density
NUMA Configuration
Ensure proper NUMA configuration for large VMs (> half of host RAM) to avoid memory performance issues.
VHDX Format
Always use VHDX format for better performance, larger capacity, and resilience to power failures.
Fixed vs. Dynamic Disks
Use fixed-size VHDX for production workloads requiring consistent performance.
Virtual Switch Configuration
Use dedicated physical NICs for management, live migration, and VM traffic.
Latest Integration Services
Keep Integration Services updated in all VMs for optimal performance and functionality.
Storage Alignment
Ensure proper partition alignment for VHDX files on physical storage.
