To determine the minimum NSX-T Edge size configuration required to support load balancing for 50 unique production workloads, we need to consider a few factors such as the number of vCPUs, RAM, and other resources required by the NSX-T Edge.

Load balancing is an essential component of NSX-T Data Center that allows distribution of network traffic across multiple servers or virtual machines. It provides high availability, scalability, and performance for applications and services. To support load balancing for 50 unique production workloads, we need an NSX-T Edge that can handle the traffic and provide the necessary resources to the workloads.

The size of the NSX-T Edge depends on the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and RAM required to run the Edge services and support the load balancer. The minimum configuration required for the NSX-T Edge is Medium (4 vCPU 8GB RAM). However, this may not be sufficient for 50 unique production workloads.

The recommended NSX-T Edge size for load balancing 50 unique production workloads is Large (8 vCPU 16GB RAM) or higher. This provides adequate resources to handle the traffic and run the load balancer efficiently.

The Extra Large (12 vCPU 24GB RAM) and Small (2 vCPU 4GB RAM) NSX-T Edge sizes are not suitable for load balancing 50 unique production workloads. The Small configuration does not have enough resources to handle the traffic and support the load balancer, while the Extra Large configuration may be overkill for this workload.

In summary, the recommended minimum NSX-T Edge size configuration for load balancing 50 unique production workloads is Large (8 vCPU 16GB RAM).
