- You can set up the PCG as a single or three-node cluster based on your requirements for high availability (HA). The following t-shirt sizes are suggested for a VMware Private Cloud Gateway PCG. The PCG size impacts the maximum number of simultaneous cluster deployments.

- Single-node cluster: 2 vCPU, 4 GB memory, 60 GB storage.
Use the following tables to determine the appropriate PCG node resource size for your environment.

- High-Availability (HA) three-node cluster: 6 vCPU, 12 GB memory, 70 GB storage.

7. Specify IP Pool configuration. You have the option to select a static placement or use Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). With static placement, an IP pool is created and the VMs are assigned IP addresses from the selected pool. With DDNS, VMs are assigned IP addresses via DNS. Review the following tables to learn more about each parameter.
