thantik , 3 months ago VMs can also do something called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_same-page_merging - meaning a single machine could run something like 52 instances of Windows XP on 1gb of RAM So for example, say I needed to run a bunch of ARK servers - I could put them all in VMs, and since they're all loading mostly the same assets, I could run a lot of them in the very tiny amount of memory.
