32GB for a dedicated node that only runs mon / mgr daemons; no OSDs.  I’ve 
experienced a cluster that grew over time such that 32GB was enough to run 
steady-state, but as OSDs and PGs were added to the cluster it was no longer 
enough to *boot* the daemons and I had to do emergency upgrades to 64 or 128GB. 
 That was around a thousand OSDs.

If you’re colocating the mon / mgr daemons on your OSD nodes, I would suggest 
reserving that much RAM for those daemons, plus the sum of your osd memory 
targets.  I suggest provisioning 2x the sum of osd memory targets to handle 
spikes.
