To make your images "better" in terms of speed and resource usage, use these command-line optimizations: eveng qemu images download better
If you’ve made changes to a node and want to save it as a new base image, use qemu-img commit within the EVE-NG CLI to merge your temporary changes into the original file. This can significantly reduce the footprint of Windows
Shrink your images to save disk space using the qemu-img convert -c command. This can significantly reduce the footprint of Windows or large Linux nodes. For high-performance labs like vMX or vSRX, an
All QEMU images must reside in /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ .
Ensure your host has at least 8GB of RAM and a quad-core CPU. For high-performance labs like vMX or vSRX, an SSD is highly recommended to prevent I/O bottlenecks during boot. Save your settings to be as default on Qemu node - - EVE-NG
