I have read conflicting recommendations regarding assigning cores/sockets. Looking for clarity:
Hardware: 8 x AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor (1 Socket)
VM: Windows 10 Pro, acting as a NVR for IPCamera's.
Container: Debian 9 running Plex media server and some other services
Both units require a decent amount of processing power as they are working with h.264/h.265 encoding.
Currently using 4 CPU's (1 socket/4 cores) on the Windows machine, with 4 virtual CPU's assigned to the Plex container. Is this ideal? According to this article, a max of 1 core should be assigned per VM...
Should I reverse the windows machine to have 4 sockets/1 core? Or something else?
