Kubernetes Cluster should be up and running. Minimal Hardware requirements:
- At least 2 CPUs (4 CPUs recommended)
- At least 6 GB of RAM (3x # of CPUs recommended)
- At least 300 GB of disk space
NOTE:
Hardware requirements will change as you add more devices, configure more scenarios, retain more data.
Storage Configuration
Kubernetes Cluster should have storage / Persistent Volumes provisioned prior to Server deployment.
To help you better prepare, here we list all the Persistent Volume Claims that Quantotto deployment will be creating.
Size and storage class can be further adjusted during Configure and Deploy step.
| Volume Name | Access Mode | Size | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| mongodb | ReadWriteOnce | 256 Gi | Frames data storage |
| influxdb | ReadWriteOnce | 32 Gi | Frames metadata and events data |
