May I ask how much CPU, memory, and space capacity are needed by default for a local installation test environment using tiup playground?

Our project’s servers have a minimum of 8 cores, 16GB RAM, and 500GB storage. You can adjust the capacity freely. If it’s a virtual machine, 4GB of memory is sufficient.

The playground has very low requirements for the machine because it is only used for simple verification and experience. If you need to deploy for testing, it is recommended to specially prepare a suitable number of hosts with appropriate configurations to complete the test. This way, it is the most realistic, can find shortcomings the most, and can discover problems the most.

For the testing environment, use the playground. If you want to set up a real cluster, but your computer isn’t powerful enough and you can’t get the virtual machine running, TiDB does have relatively high hardware requirements.
