Splunk Environment Set up - VMware

Hi!

I am working as an IAM Specialist but I am looking to pivot to Splunk. I would like to set up a Splunk Enterprise environment using VMware where I can practice the basics and move to more advanced functions including getting a solid base and understanding of networking.

After seeing many videos for all kinds of set ups, I am not sure which would be best for me; set up wise, and I was wondering if anyone can help give me a set up that works best based off my laptop configurations. I would like to practice on VMs for both Windows/Linux.

Laptop Config: 

Lenovo IdeaPad touchscreen - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U : WUXGA - 16GB - 1TB SSD - OS Windows 11

Any information would be highly appreciated.

Hi @splunktup1 

I would recomend using AWS/AZure/GCP and try creating windows/linux machines and install splunk on them,

instead of using VM on Laptop. it might take up lot of resources on laptop.

or install splunk directly on laptop
