Hi.
We have noticed another issue with our migration from VMWare ESXi, to Proxmox.
One of our VMs has a HAProxy configured in TCP mode which passes connections to SQL server on other machine. Nothing fancy, there is almost no logic behind it, just take a TCP connection and pass it over to one of the SQL servers statically set in config.
That machine handles likes 400-500 sessions per second, which is not much, but eats up 70-80% of CPU (8 cores) when doing so. We started same machine on one of our remaining ESXi nodes (same hardware as Promox) and it uses like 15-20% of CPU... Well, that is a huge difference.
We have tried to change CPU types (default was x86-64-v2 AES) to host but it didn't change much. We have also installed irqbalance on the host (ksoftirqd in haproxy VM uses 50-60% of single CPU core which does not happen on ESXi).
Any ideas what we can do?
pveversion -v
