Table 1 lists the typical compute node configuration in the open-source KVM virtualization scenario.

**Table 1** Typical compute node configuration for KVM VMs
Node Type	Typical Configuration	Remarks
Compute node	Dual-socket rack servers 2 x Huawei Kunpeng 920 processor (Kunpeng 920 7260 is recommended) 256 GB or larger memory 2 x 480 GB SSD 6 x 600 GB SAS HDD (six or more) Avago 3508 RAID controller cards 1 x SP680 SmartNIC An independent power supply	The number of compute nodes is calculated based on the number of VMs.
