Explanation

By default, the swap file is the same size as the available memory of a VM. The swap file is created when you power on a virtual machine and removed when you power it off. With 5 virtual machines powered on and with each virtual machine having an available memory setting of 2 GB, 10 GB of space will be used for the swap files.
