Its contradicting, heard from an engineer

we explicitly require FT VMs to be fully committed. When you enable FT, we automatically increase the memory reservation to the full memory of the VM, and don't allow FT to be enabled if that's not possible."

Weinstein5, please confirm..

By enabling FT, a full memory reservation of the VM memory is done.

So no memory overcommit.
