Rule of the thumb for swap?

Hi,
The general rule of thumb for assigning swap is double the RAM of the server, however, there are servers with 16GB or 32GB of RAM. Are we suppose to put aside 32GB and 64GB of swap respectively.

Thanks

NAME
systemd-fstab-generator - Unit generator for /etc/fstab SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-fstab-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-fstab-generator is a generator that translates /etc/fstab (see fstab(5) for details) into native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will instantiate mount and swap units as necessary. The <term>passno</term> field is treated like a simlpe boolean, and the ordering information is discarded. However, the root filesystem is checked before all the other filesystems. See systemd.mount(5) and systemd.swap(5) for more information about special /etc/fstab mount options this generator understands. systemd-fstab-generator implements the generator specification[1]. KERNEL COMMAND LINE
systemd-fstab-generator understands the following kernel command line parameters: fstab=, rd.fstab= Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "yes". If "no", causes the generator to ignore any mounts or swaps configured in /etc/fstab. rd.fstab= is honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while fstab= is honored by both the main system and the initrd. SEE ALSO
