Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

• Performance: running many QEMU appliances on insufficient hardware — mitigate by reducing simultaneous nodes, using snapshotting, or migrating heavy services to remote servers.
• Compatibility: mismatched GNS3 versions and appliance templates — maintain version tags and test on target GNS3 release.
• Legal issues: including proprietary images — avoid redistributing binaries; provide clear instructions for users to obtain images.
• Misconfiguration of adapters: wrong adapter type slows traffic — use virtio/virtio-net where supported.

CPU: A processor with virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) and at least 4 cores.
