What is the minimum hardware requirement to install Fabric Composer on ESXi?

Question

Options

• A4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB Disk Space
• B2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB Disk Space
• C8 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB Disk Space
• D6 vCPUs, 12 GB RAM, 150 GB Disk Space

• A
  89% (47)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Option A (4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB Disk Space) matches the documented minimum hardware requirements for installing Fabric Composer on VMware ESXi, striking the balance between sufficient compute resources and practical deployment constraints. Options B (2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB Disk Space) falls short - Fabric Composer's orchestration services require more RAM and storage than this lean configuration provides, and the system would likely fail to initialize properly. Options C and D (8 vCPUs/16 GB/200 GB and 6 vCPUs/12 GB/150 GB) describe configurations that exceed the minimum; they may work fine, but the question asks for the minimum, so these are over-specified distractors.

Memory tip: Think "4-8-100" as a sequence that doubles and then multiplies - 4 vCPUs, 8 GB (4×2), 100 GB disk. The "minimum" keyword is your signal to pick the smallest viable option, which rules out C and D immediately.
