Hello guys, I need some expert opinion on the below.
I have just started my career in vRA/vRO which I find really hard coming from a non dev background, so I decided to build a lab to do my learning and work towards a cert..
I have a ryzen 7 1700, 16gb ddr4 ram and I am running vsphere, esxi 6.7 host and trying to install vRA appliance on workstation pro. As it is obvious, 16gb is not enough ram. I need some advise that will it be enough if I buy another 16gb ram for AUD230 or would it be a better option to buy a HP proliant 360p G8 with 64 gb RAM for $650 or $900 with 128gb RAM and run esxi 6.5 on it, which a acquaintance is trying to sell me? obviously it is cheaper to buy just the RAM, but I am not sure what the right option is in the long run. Many thanks
