What are the system requirements for kubernetes?

I am doing a project for my Software Architecture class and one section we must include in our documentation is System requirements. I can not find them anywhere. Can anyone tell me what the system requirements are or where to find them please?

System requirements depend on the type of cluster you are going to deploy and your business requirements.

For example, lightweight Kubernetes cluster deployment tools like K3S require minimum of 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU [REF]. That's a bare minimum. Possibly, you can't do anything useful with that much of resources.

4 CPU cores (Intel VT-capable CPU) 16GB RAM. 1GB Ethernet NIC. 40GB hard disk space in the /var directory. https://faun.pub/kubernetes-prerequisites-for-setup-kubenetes-cluster-part-2-699b3f93d6cc
