+= Tested maximums for {VirtProductName}
+
+The following limits apply to a large-scale {VirtProductName} 4.x environment. They are based on a single cluster of the largest possible size. When you plan an environment, remember that multiple smaller clusters might be the best option for your use case.
+
+[id="vm-maximums_{context}"]
+== Virtual machine maximums
+
+The following maximums apply to virtual machines (VMs) running on {VirtProductName}. These values are subject to the limits specified in link:https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-kvm-limits[Virtualization limits for Red Hat{nbsp}Enterprise Linux with KVM].

+|Single disk size |20 TB |100 TB

+== Host maximums

+|Logical CPU cores or threads |Same as {op-system-base-full} |N/A

+== Cluster maximums
+
+The following maximums apply to objects defined in {VirtProductName}.
+
+[cols="1,1,1",subs="attributes+"]
+|===
+|Objective (per cluster) |Tested limit |Theoretical limit
+
+|Number of attached PVs per node |N/A |CSI storage provider dependent
+|Maximum PV size |N/A |CSI storage provider dependent
+|Hosts |500 hosts (100 or fewer recommended) ^[1]^ |Same as {product-title}
+|Defined VMs |10,000 VMs ^[2]^ |Same as {product-title}
+|===
+. If you use more than 100 nodes, consider using {rh-rhacm-first} to manage multiple clusters instead of scaling out a single control plane. Larger clusters add complexity, require longer updates, and depending on node size and total object density, they can increase control plane stress.
++
+Using multiple clusters can be beneficial in areas like per-cluster isolation and high availability.
+. The maximum number of VMs per node depends on the host hardware and resource capacity. It is also limited by the following parameters:
+
+* Settings that limit the number of pods that can be scheduled to a node. For example: `maxPods`.
+* The default number of KVM devices. For example: `devices.kubevirt.io/kvm: 1k`.

+You can refer to tested object maximums when planning your {product-title} environment for {VirtProductName}. However, approaching the maximum values can reduce performance and increase latency. Ensure that you plan for your specific use case and consider all factors that can impact cluster scaling.
+
+For more information about cluster configuration and options that impact performance, see the link:https://access.redhat.com/articles/6994974[{VirtProductName} - Tuning & Scaling Guide] in the Red{nbsp}Hat Knowledgebase.
