Hello Support Team,
All KVM virtual machines that I deployed were missing Swap. Is this normal and I have to enable manually inside the virtual machines?
Thank you so much.

Hi,

It should work fine.
You need not require manual changes in vps.
Can you open a ticket so that we can create a test vps and check it.

Hello Jevingala,

        The swap was created correctly but disabled. Do I miss something out?
I'm going to deploy a new KVM physical node in next week and then I'll let you know, log in and check it out.
Thank you so much and have a good day.

You shouldn´t need swap on modern OS like CentOS7.The guys from cloudlinux have a great article about it and why swap should be avoided:

Ok, so why do the docs state it is required before installation? This is what we the users go by and what Virt support expects us to go by.
Is a swap file not required for KVM only or for other installations like OpenVZ 7, LXM, etc. as well?

Swap isn´t required by a special virtualization platform. It is a mechanism to compensate a machine state where you don´t have enough real memory for your computer/VM/VPS.This is OS based and not platform based.

I see now... I've been wasting time partitioning for it and checking it when I didn't really need it all along.
Thanks.
