VMs per core

[Mornincupofhate]

If I'm renting out VMs to customers off of a dedicated server, how many virtual machines can I have max, with still having optimal performance?

 

4 Physical cores @ 2.6 Ghz

32Gb DDR4 Memory

Do you have any logical cores? Also, what do said customers plan to do? Because a single core is kinda bad at everything.

You mean threads? 8. 

 

And probably low low end game servers.

General rule is 4:1 vCPU to pCPU so over all the VMs you have created don't have any more than 32 vCPU's, HT threads count. Just remember this is for general work loads, if a VM is going to be very heavily utilizing it's assigned cores the vCPU:pCPU ratio will have to go down.

How fast do you want it? Amazon runs 1 vcpu for 1pthread. Id probably stay away from the buiness of hosting vms as there are big guys that can offer much better speeds, scaling, uptime, and network than you can.
