Here is a post where I will aggregate all the guides I used to setup my SD-WAN lab.

I used Google Cloud to host the SD-WAN lab. It consumes a lot of resources for a few WAN edges. I recommend setting up a GCP VM with 12 cores/24GB minimum.

I used the EVE-NG Pro cookbook to set up the lab.
eve-ng.net/index.php/docu… pages 41-50.

Once I set up the VM, I uploaded all the images to the GCP instance.

I then used this guide to get all the controllers up and runnning: pocvlab.com/cisco-sd-wan-c…

On a side note, you could set up the VM with either a traditional HDD, or premium SSD. Having the SSD will help you spin up the lab a whole lot quicker.
