You just built a small compute cluster using popular hypervisor, with three hosts, each with 2x8-core physical CPUs.
You plan to run a few Oracle VMs on this cluster.
You are advised by Oracle to license all of the physical cores in your compute cluster, because those VMs can (in theory) move around and run on any of the physical CPUs in the cluster.
You tell Oracle to go and f*ck themselves and opt for a DBMS with a less retarded licensing model.
