The processor used for this lab has 6 cores and 12 threads.

32 GB of RAM can be used if the storage is VMFS. If using vSAN, 64 GB of RAM is required.

Testing has shown that vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) in vSphere 8.0 defaults to 14 GB of RAM but it can run with as little as 12 GB (but no less).
