Editing AutoLab (section)

==AutoLab Requirements ==
You will need a reasonably beefy physical machine to deplopy AutoLab. AutoLab is developed on a Quad Core i7 with 32GB of RAM, a 240GB SSD and a 2TB hard disk. An SSD is important if you don't want to wait all day for VMs to boot and at least 16GB of RAM is required, more is always better. <br>
While AutoLab is running on your physical machine, don;t plan on doing anything else with that machine. AutoLab should chew up all your RAM so the lab runs as fast as possible. I always use a second laptop to read emails & documentation while I'm AutoLabing.<br>
Autolab can run on a PC, a MAC, or on [[Cloud_Homelabs#Ravello|Ravello]] or [[Cloud_Homelabs#Bare Metal Cloud|Bare Metal Cloud]], these options allow you to rent hardware rather than having to buy your own lab machine.<br>
You will also need the installers for the versions of vSphere you want to test as well as a Windows Server Trial ISO. There are a few more pieces of licensed software you will need, everything is outlined in the deployment guide which is on the AutoLab site.
Autolab has it's own support forum on this [http://reddit.com/r/AutoLab/ sub-Reddit] <br>
