Hello Team,

What is the difference between creating an instance with *4* or *8 virtual
sockets*, since the hypervisor has only *4 physical sockets*.
My question is where do sockets, cores and virtual threads fit into the
physical hardware. I think this question is not just related to Openstack,
but with any virtualization.

My hypervisor configuration is as follows:

CPU(s): 192
Online CPU(s) list: 0-191
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 24
Socket(s): 4
NUMA node(s): 4

Do you have any documentation that I can read and understand better?

That we have a nice week!
