Recommendations
The more resources, the better, depending on your goal of a maximum number of concurrent deployments.
It is essential to note that the worker node needs to have as much CPU as possible because if it's got 8 CPUs, 100 GB RAM, and 2 TB disk -> the CPU would likely be a bottleneck. Since people tend to deploy at least 1 CPU per deployment, the server could only host 8 deployments maximum and likely about 6 deployments as other ~2 CPUs will be reserved by the Kubernetes system components.
