If this is targeting KVM specifically then I'd look also at other optimizations: 1. leave swap out - I understand this is done already 2. wipe out the SSH keys, the random seed, optionally touch /.autorelabel to force a selinux relabel upon next boot (this takes a time and cpu) 3. install tuned with virtual-guest profile 4. disable tso and gso on the virtual nic and wipe out /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules 5. run ntp & ntpdate 6. enable serial tty for `virsh console` access if needed etc Most of the above I do in the following ks for cloudstack http://li.nux.ro/download/cloudstack/ks/CentOS6_64bit_password_sshkey.ks -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
