Demo Showcase resources
In all the sessions we have delivered on the Demo Showcase, the memory requirement has been the biggest challenge for our partners. In the invite to the sessions we run we do stress the need to have 2GB of RAM on their systems in order to run the images.
Consistently we do get partners showing up with 1.5GB and 1GB of RAM which limits their ability to run the scenarios. This isn't a slight against our partners, it's a business reality that not every role can justify the cost of upgrading the RAM.
What we have managed to do in these situation is use the slider in the Memory setting for the image in VPC, and adjust/tweek the memory in order to run the images. In cases where the partner has 1.5 gb or 1 GB of RAM we'll trim the image requirements to the minimum where they will run adequately. This may be something you have to play with a few times to get the right setting.
In most cases where we have done this with partners we have had success where they can run scenarios that require 2 images with 1.5GB to 1GB of RAM. To run 3 images then you would need the full 2GB requirement.
