Hardware requirements of large or production profile
Hardware requirements of foundational services for deploying a large or production profile.
For each platform, two tables are provided:
-
Table 1 provides the hardware requirement of each individual service, excluding the hardware requirement of its dependencies.
-
Table 2 provides the hardware requirement of individual services, including the hardware requirement of their dependencies. For example, if you install the audit logging service in your cluster, the certificate manager service is also installed. The audit logging hardware requirement values that are in Table 2 include the certificate manager service hardware requirement.
Notes:
-
For capacity planning, consider the CPU request and memory request. The CPU request is the minimum number of cores that must be available when a service is created. The memory request is the minimum amount of memory that must be available when a service is created.
-
To determine the total CPU and memory requirement for all services, see Hardware requirements and recommendations for foundational services.
-
Only one instance of a service is installed in your cluster. For example, if you are installing IAM after installing the audit logging service (both services have a dependency on the certificate manager service), the certificate manager service is only installed once. You can then exclude the certificate manager individual service hardware requirement from the values that are provided for the IAM service in Table 2. Follow this rule to calculate the total hardware requirement of the services that you are installing.
Review the tables that are applicable to your platform:
