- Must have at least 2 years experience working large OpenStack deployments where KVM and/or qemu was used as the primary hypervisor. Large in this context is defined as a deployment that has at least 250 individual, physical compute nodes that run the nova-compute service AND a total physical core count of greater than 15,000 cores (not threads) on the aforementioned compute nodes. Core counts from other unrelated services such as storage or network devices do not qualify.
