Yes, that's the example for aio-simplex specifically. I would have referred to the parent page which links to each deployment option:<br>

Each of the listed deployment options under <span style="display: inline !important; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="ContentPasted2">"Install StarlingX Kubernetes in a virtual environment"</span> has the instruction for libvirt method.<br>
<br>
Yes, I am saying that I am intending that the changes should not impact anything that a user would do currently. I want to add options to better use a host's resources for disk, memory and CPU without affecting the current examples and default behaviour presented
in the Starlingx documentation (and the libvirt method's README)<br>

<br>
Thanks for letting me know.<br>
<br>
I was not aware that the documents were out-of-sync and that the examples under virtual deployment were out-of-date. Especially: I had not noticed any out-of-date instruction while using the examples from virtual section.<br>
<br>
To answer your first question: I have an intention of not impacting the canonical examples and current usage/use-case. In this way I did not anticipate documentation changes. I especially intend that if one were using the libvirt deployment method as it is
presented today, then the changes I intend would have no impact on that usage.</span></p>

to ensuring that a merging of the documents will continue to accurately reflect the libvirt virtual deployment method - either by proposing changes or reviewing the changes. Please feel free to bring me into the conversation.</span></p>
