Requirements reference

Use this reference after choosing an architecture. It lists the CPU, memory, disk, network, and admin panel requirements that apply across deployment scenarios.

Evaluation requirements

Use the following baseline for a proof of concept on a single node or a small cluster. These figures are not intended for production deployments. For production, size the cluster according to the selected deployment scenario, service placement, redundancy mode, and workload.

Requirement Management node Worker node
Processor 64-bit x86 processor with Intel VT or AMD-V virtualization extensions enabled
CPU cores 16 physical cores 8 physical cores
RAM 32 GB ECC RAM 16 GB ECC RAM
System disk 120 GB SSD
Storage disk At least one per storage node; minimum three storage disks per cluster
Backend network 10 Gbit/s for internal traffic; LACP bonding recommended
Frontend network 1 Gbit/s for public-facing and management traffic; bonding optional
Cluster size Three nodes recommended; a single node is possible only for limited evaluation scenarios

If you use EC in an evaluation cluster, include the additional storage-client reservation from CPU and RAM requirements. The RAM available for workloads is lower than the physical RAM shown in the table.
