EVE-NG Setup \ Installation questions

[princepark]

Hello there folks..

I am looking at resharpening my network skills and scaling back on adding boxes to my home rack, and I am looking at deploying EVE-NG Community Edition, but I have question on what type of hardware or vm requirement it has as the documentation is a bit vague on this and just simply states at giving it as much ram and CPU you have available but nothing more then that

So my question is simply what kind of hardware do those of you that use or have used EVE-NG recommend to use for a deployment for CCNA \ JunOS equivalent setup?

First thing I am looking at doing is mimicking the setup we have at work witch consist of
2x CheckPoints
2x Juniper EX4300 core switches in stacked mode
5x Juniper EX3400 access switches with direct uplik to the core switches

Juniper switches are vEX only which would match your 4300.
But single vEX switch node require minimum x4 CPU and 16GB RAM !
Per juniper documentation vEX is working and is good only on bare installed EVE

Palo device need:
x4 CPU and 8GB ram
so count how many CPU RAM you would need for such lab
