Avalanche NEXT: If I have limited resources on the ESXi server, can I deploy in thin provisioning instead of thick?

Environment/Versions

Avalanche NEXT 7.0.0
ESXi
Thin provisioning

Answer

Yes
A thin-provisioned disk grows permanently when more space is needed (space is not reclaimed as things are deleted), up until the maximum size allowed by the Virtual Machines configuration - slowdowns may occur during a "write" operation when the drive needs to be reconfigured on-the-fly.
