Hi,  
Can anyone who has tried and done the three VM setup, please categorically mention how much of minimum disk space is used in each of the VM post setup?

I know the setup guide recommends 100 GB, 50 GB and 50 GB storage for the VMs respectively.  
Br,  
Karthik

Hey Karthik!  
Going through my installation now on my ESXI host I see the following usage, keep in mind I have gone through some deployments and workflows.

**WFM VM**

- ~52 GB Used

**Standalone Cluster**

- ~30 GB Used

**Standalone Device**

- ~20 GB Used
- I am seeing however a pod logging file that has expanded way too large 32GB!. Will report to development team to cap the size of the pod logging.

Hope that helps you optimize your local system.  
Armand

Track bug here on the runaway logs pod I found in my VM.
