     :material-checkbox-marked-outline: Works with default Codespaces sizing!
 
+!!! Warning "WARNING!"
+
+    While the lab is tested and works well on 4 CPUs, it is very close to the limit.  
+    That means lab can take longer time to start and Codespaces can become unstable during some high CPU activities.  
+    For this reason the number of Ansible forks was decreased to 1 and it is recommended to watch CPU utilization (bottom of Codespace window) and wait for it to settle before starting the next CPU intensive task.  
+    Alternatively you can click `Change options` button when starting the Codespace and pick 8-core machine type or higher for better performance and stability. In that case you can also increase the number of Ansible forks in `ansible.cfg` to the default 5.
