Yes, 64 GB for vsphere is "small", mainly because of VM overhead for various pieces. Bosh-lite shrinks that down a lot by using Linux containers. Lattice shrinks it more. Lattice is nice because it strips out the security layer, multi tenant controller, and BOSH ...but no other configuration framework has a rich Vmware/Openstack support. It suppose it's possible to whip up some Chef recipes / Ansible play books with Fog scripts, as BOSH really is a wrapper around Fog. I found BOSH hard to learn at first but now I love it, it's my favorite config framework AND supports Vsphere/Openstack. The Pivotal version of CF wraps BOSH with a web GUI to make it easy (no bosh-lite sadly), barring that I'd suggest looking at some of Dr. Nic Williams' blog posts and github repos for learning: https://github.com/drnic/bosh-getting-started/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/drnic/bosh-getting-started/blob/master/RE...
