These numbers give approximately the following requirements for the default topologies:

* Spine-Leaf: 54 vCPUs, 49664 MB, 550 GB disk
4344
* Mesh (2 leaves): 22 vCPUs, 19456 MB, 240 GB disk
45+
* If gateway is enabled it adds 8 vCPUs, 6GB RAM, and 50GB disk

Usually, none of the VMs will reach 100% utilization of the allocated resources, but as a rule of thumb you should make
4648
sure that you have at least allocated RAM and disk space for all VMs.

### Gateway
279+
280+
Gateway could be added by adding `--gateway` flag to the `hhfab init` command and it'll be automatically added connected
281+
to two spines in case of spine-leaf topology or two leafs in case of the mesh topology, number of uplinks could be
282+
controlled using flags on the `hhfab vlab gen` command.

### Lightweight Spine-Leaf
279285
A default spine-leaf topology in VLAB requests more CPU and RAM than is commonly available. The lightweight
280286
topology requests 22 vCPUs and 23 GiB of RAM, it is 6 virtual machines, and still allows for traffic to transit a spine.
