Kubernetes Cluster: System Requirements

System requirements for a Kubernetes cluster can vary depending on factors like cluster size, installed components, workload, and platform specifications. If you encounter issues accessing the Kubernetes Cluster package in certain regions due to hardware specifics, reaching out to your hosting provider’s support team is advisable.

Determining the minimum and optimal RAM, CPU, and storage requirements necessitates considering variables such as cluster scale, active workload, and deployed components. It’s essential to evaluate these factors to ensure the cluster’s smooth operation.

Note:

[1] The measurements were taken on both development and production clusters in their base configurations, devoid of any additional load. Consequently, the specified values denote the minimum system requirements, which could significantly rise for loaded clusters, particularly in production settings.

[2] The development cluster setup includes one master, one worker, and one storage node, excluding any monitoring tools, and incorporates a sample Hello World deployment.

[3] The production cluster configuration encompasses an API balancer, three masters, two workers, and one storage node. Moreover, it integrates monitoring tools and showcases a sample Hello World deployment.

For optimal usage, consider using the development cluster solely as a controlled environment. For production needs, it’s advisable to employ a highly available topology with multiple masters.

Additionally, based on the anticipated workload, you can manually add the necessary number of workers or configure automatic horizontal scaling for efficient resource management.
