Hi, Multicore would be certainly not wasted since you could bind NICs IRQ on some core and haproxy on others. 1 or 2 NIC depends on your architecture. Are you one arm mode ? two arm ?
For RAM, will your service need many session handling ? Even for hardware it's really a per infra/service configuration.
