Why Doesn't Proxmox Implement Transparent Page Sharing (TPS)? Any Plans for Similar Functionality?

[GoXLd]

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Proxmox and virtualization in general, so I’m still learning a lot. I recently read about VMware’s Transparent Page Sharing (TPS), which reduces memory usage by consolidating identical memory pages across VMs.

From what I’ve seen, Proxmox doesn’t have a similar feature. I’m curious:

1). Why doesn’t Proxmox implement TPS or something similar?
2). Are there any plans to add this in the future?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Best regards,

I'm glad you got an answer, @GoXLd .

Now I can come in here and guiltlessly point out that you asked for a TPS report.
