What are the minimum hardware requirements to run customer workloads within a cluster in a VI workload domain considering maintenance operations without risking availability?
To ensure both customer workloads and maintenance operations without risking availability, the minimum cluster size generally required is three nodes. However, to meet modern performance demands and ensure robust network connectivity, it is better to opt for nodes with higher network throughput. Thus, three vSAN Ready Nodes with two 25GbE NICs provide both redundancy and the necessary bandwidth, making it the most suitable option.
