 # Azure Stack Edge virtual machine sizing
 
-The following table contains information about the VMs that Azure Private 5G Core (AP5GC) uses when running on an Azure Stack Edge (ASE) device. You can use this information, for example, to check how much space you'll have remaining on your ASE device after installing Azure Private 5G Core.
+The following table lists the hardware resources that Azure Private 5G Core (AP5GC) uses when running on supported Azure Stack Edge (ASE) devices.

-## Remaining usable resource on Azure Stack Edge Pro
+> [!NOTE]
+> An additional four vCPUs are used during ASE upgrade. We do not recommend reserving these additional vCPUs because the ASE control plane software can contend with other workloads.
 
-The following resources are available within ASE after deploying AP5GC. You can use these resources, for example, to deploy additional virtual machines or storage accounts.
