RAM

4 GB (2 minimum)

Storage (Type, Size)

Any, Install is ~3-5 GB (60 GB for execution server only)

HDD with a page-file capacity of 200 MB

Note: Execution Server requirements vary according to the required usage. For example, in a scenario where 16 CPU-intensive tests are run at any given time, an optimal environment would be a machine with 32 CPU cores, with capacity set to 16, or 2 machines with 16 CPU cores, with capacity set to 8 for each machine. In another scenario where 8 memory-intensive tests are run at any given time, an optimal environment would be a machine with 16 GB RAM, with capacity set to 8.

Linux-based Execution Server requirements

This type of execution server behaves the same as a Windows execution server. However, Linux execution servers cannot run automation written in CloudShell Authoring but are required to run Ansible configuration management. For additional information, see the Linux Execution Server Installation and Configuration guide.
