Having your own Cisco SD-WAN lab is great but it does require a server with enough CPU cores and memory. To get an idea of hardware requirements, take a look here:

Luckily, Cisco also provides labs and sandboxes. If you have no budget, you can still try these resources. This could change over time. If you find any broken links, please let us know so we can update it.
