Couchbase Cluster Build Recommendation and Guideline

Hi,
I am looking for a guideline and recommendations for a fresh enterprise cluster build. Point(s) of interest as below:
Considered Environment: VMware Virtual Machine
Infrastructure: Calculation/ best practices for resource (CPU, Memory and Disk) allocation ,
Couchbase: Relation between allocated resources with amount of data (helpful for capacity management and other troubleshooting). Allocated Memory with Index relation etc…
I have gone through https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/install/sizing-general.html , but looking for something more.

  6. n1ql queries - number of concurrent n1ql queries you are planning to run
  7. approximate number of indexes you need
  8. number of buckets
