Most modern applications like databases were designed with very “loose” dependance on hardware infrastructure. They can typically run on a variety of hypervisors including virtual machines and containers. The respective ISV vendor typically only specifies the supported underlying operating system (Guest OS) but does not require certification of any hypervisor. However, there can be specific features that a customer deployment of these applications requires at a hypervisor or infrastructure level. For example, a Microsoft SQL Server Failover cluster instance requires a shared disk between multiple SQL Server VMs. Oracle, similarly, requires shared disks for an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) setup. Therefore, it needs to be always validated whether the specific deployment requires certain features and whether these are supported by VM Essentials in its latest release.

Baseline refresh — 2026-06-10.
First eval after the embed pool grew from 2 ripper Ollamas to 4 endpoints
(+ .0.125 RTX 4090, + .0.126) and rag/embeddings.py gained endpoint
rotation/split resilience (PR #8, port of zerto-docs PR #45). Run against
the chroma/bm25 indexes extracted from the prod image built by today's
image-only run (post-merge rebuild on the 4-endpoint pool); query embeds
via host Ollama :11434, reranker = the prod jina-rerank instance.
vs the 2026-05-22 baseline.md: bm25+rerank MRR 0.920→0.959,
hybrid_rrf+rerank 0.875→0.960 — no regression from the mixed-provenance
embeddings (zerto-docs ran a same-corpus ripper-only control to verify
this property of the shared pool; see zerto eval/results/control-20260610.md).
