Running inside a virtual machine (VM)
-------------------------------------
It is possible, but not recommended for high performance, to run Varnish on virtualised
hardware.
OpenVZ
''''''
If you are running on 64bit OpenVZ (or Parallels VPS), you must reduce the
maximum stack size before starting Varnish. The default allocates to much memory per thread,
which will make varnish fail as soon as the number of threads (==traffic) increases.
Reduce the maximum stack size by running::
ulimit -s 256
in the startup script.
