Open Stack

I recently updated the System requirements table in the Compute Admin Manual
to say this:

With 2 GB RAM you can run one m1.small instance on a node or three m1.tiny
instances without memory swapping, so 2 GB RAM would be a minimum for a
test-environment compute node. As an example, Rackspace Cloud Builders use
96 GB RAM for compute nodes in OpenStack deployments.

See
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/compute-system-requirements.html.


Hope this helps.
