Description

Use this key to indicate the number of CPU cores available to a compute resource. The value should be a positive integer representing the total number of physical or virtual CPU cores. Fractional values are not allowed; the key represents the number of different cores that tasks can be scheduled to, not fractional allocation.

This key is useful for capacity planning, resource allocation, and workload scheduling decisions.

Validation Constraint

The value must be a natural number greater than zero (positive integer). Values such as 0, negative numbers, or non-numeric strings are not valid.

You can define validation rules that enforce these constraints.

CPU cores can be taken offline. This key represents the total number of cores that can be available, not the number of cores currently active. However, a hot-plug event or hot-unplug event can still lead to the number changing.
