Prepare Virtual Machines for the Controller

The following are considerations and requirements for the machine hosting the Controller.

Controller Sizing Restrictions

Demo, small, and medium profile Controllers can run on virtual machines that meet the performance requirements otherwise specified. Large deployments are not supported except as indicated in Controller System Requirements.

Warning: The Controller is not supported on virtual machines with oversubscribed physical CPUs like T2 AWS instances. These Burstable Performance Instances are CPU-throttled and do not have dedicated storage bandwidth. We recommend you use a Fixed Performance Instance type instead.
