Just noticed that in the KVM installation section, which was not just
converted to XML but substantially rewritten by a contributor, the
following hardware requirements from the older guide were omitted. Can
anyone please confirm whether these still apply to Apache CloudStack 4.0?

Hosts must be certified as compatible with the selected operating system.
For example, see the RHEL Hardware Compatibility Guide at
https://hardware.redhat.com/.

Must support HVM (Intel-VT or AMD-V enabled).

Within a single cluster, the hosts must be homogenous. The CPUs must be of
the same type, count, and feature flags.

Within a single cluster, the hosts must be of the same kernel version. For
example, if one host is RHEL6 64 bit, they must all be RHEL6 64 bit.

64-bit x86 CPU (more cores results in better performance)

Hardware virtualization support required

4 GB of memory

36 GB of local disk

At least 1 NIC

Statically allocated IP Address

Thanks in advance for any clarity you can provide.
