Hello everybody, I've been assigned the task of evaluating a few unused machines in a corporate network for the sole purpose of finding a place to setup Elasticsearch for a medium to large Magento installation, after extended talks with our sys admin team they have adviced us to avoid setting up JVM and elastic on a virtual machine.
Thing is , I've discovered a vps with 24gb of ram and decided to run some benchmarks on it, the only problem I could see would be the need for a bigger swap partition for elastic to play with, other than that my benchmarks seemed not that bad, does anybody have any experience on running elastic on a virtual machine? Could we atleast do dev and staging on the virtual?
here are a few benchmarks from the 24gb ram vps

Appreciate all the input!
