- Definition
- A physical processing core located in a CPU or a virtual processing core within a virtual machine or supporting a container, in each case, that contains or executes all or a portion of the Software.
- Counting rules
- Exhibit 1.B Note 1: unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, one (1) Core is equivalent to two (2) vCPUs with hyper-threading active for the Red Hat Products in Exhibit 1.B. That sentence does not apply to RHEL Socket-pair SKUs. Exhibit 1.B Note 3: you may use up to the number of Cores purchased in the Core Band(s) for OpenShift Container Platform deployments, in a minimum of 2 Core allocations per Unit. Core Band means a group of processing Cores (e.g., 2, 4, 16 or 64) — a packing unit, not a separate metric. There is no conversion from Socket-pair to Core.
- Floors / minimums
- OpenShift Exhibit 1.B Note 3: minimum of 2 Core allocations per Unit. OpenShift Bare Metal Node SKUs: Socket-pair with up to 64 Cores, or up to 128 Cores for subscriptions purchased after 1 January 2025 based on the new MSRP (Note 2).
