NIC model
Pick `VirtIO (paravirtualized)` for every template
Core Idea
NIC model is Pick VirtIO (paravirtualized) for every template. Set Multiqueue to min(vCPU count, 4); more queues than CPUs provide no benefit and add overhead. Validate inside the guest with ethtool -l ens18. It usually makes the most sense alongside Bridge choice, Guest Agent, and VirtIO drivers.
Why It Matters Here
