Is it okay to run the latest version of Ops Center (DSE 6.0) on the same instance as an app server with 8GB mem and 2vCPUs for a dev server or is Ops Center better on its own instance?

We’ve seen that it requires good amount of resources.

For development environment it could be ok, although this could lead to swapping, or slowness if you have quite a lot of data about cluster.

More general recommendation is to separate database tables used by OpsCenter from the your production tables - OpsCenter writes/reads quite a lot of data, and this could affect the performance. In production is always better to have a separate cluster for OpsCenter's data to separate load. Per DataStax license, instances in cluster used for OpsCenter doesn't require a separate license.
