Hi Ken, sorry for the late response. The number of CPU cores we show in the web interface is based on what the JVM tells us from "Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();". I'm not sure how tthe processor count behaves on Amazon VMs.
Given that each of your servers has 8 vCores, I would set the slot count to 8 per Taskmanager.
