Ok, I'm curious, what on Earth could you possibly need 16 virtual machines for? And how do you have the system resources for it?

This is one of my virtualization servers (for a business network). It's got a few TB of NVMe storage, and a SSD just to hold the config, 48GB of ECC memory, and 16 cores of 2.93ghz server CPU's...


11 VMs, and a good number of them aren't even running anymore (either deprecated or still being built). So how you need 16 for personal use i dont know...

I do not use them all at the same time.
I like to have very well-split and configured environments with just what is needed to perform a task. For example, I use a VM just to work with wordpress development.

I removed one.

Seems like you have multiple VM's all related to programming. Is there any reason why you don't just do it all on the same machine?

No, I just like to leave the environments organized that way. But in the case of web server and db server, it's because they are console only.
