  name: Check the number of OpenStack processes on undercloud
  description: >
    The default settings for OpenStack is to run one process (heat-engine,
    keystone, etc.) per CPU core. On a machine with a lot of cores this is
    both unnecessary and can consume a significant amount of RAM, leading
    to crashes due to OOMKiller.
