This chapter describes the hardware and operating system requirements for the hosts in an Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment.
Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment is a clustered environment that requires more than one node to form a cluster. Your environment should consist of two or more systems where Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment is installed.
Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment does not require specific hardware; however, certain operations are CPU and memory intensive. The X6 and X7 line of Oracle x86 Servers are suitable to host Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment nodes. For more information on Oracle x86 Servers, see:
https://www.oracle.com/servers/x86/index.html
Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment is available for 64-bit x86 hardware only.
The hardware requirements listed here are for the absolute minimum to run Oracle Linux Cloud Native Environment. Your deployment is highly likely to require nodes with a larger footprint.
A minimum Kubernetes master node configuration is:
4 CPU cores (Intel VT-capable CPU)
16GB RAM
1GB Ethernet NIC
See AlsoReady Or Not system requirements40GB hard disk space in the
/vardirectory
A minimum Kubernetes worker node configuration is a bare-metal server or an Oracle Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) instance with:
1 CPU cores (Intel VT-capable CPU)
8GB RAM
1GB Ethernet NIC
15GB hard disk space in the
/vardirectory
For information on creating an Oracle Linux KVM instance, see Oracle® Linux: KVM User's Guide.
