If you for some reason used your SSH key to easily access the VM for testing or any other purpose make sure to remove it.
-
Test your VM with lowest possible hardware configuration so you know when your thing will crash.
-
Make sure to thoroughly test all the things so that you don't mess up.

Use Fixed memory allocation since that is much faster
- Not a fixed rule but it's prefered.

- This helps to test VM on low specs. We might have 8/16GB ram but the person doing might not have that.

For ubuntu always use the
