Backend Requirements
Hardware Requirements for Kubernetes Deployment
There are two kinds of nodes requirement; Master Node(s) and Worker Node(s).
Master Node(s):
Component | Minimum Requirements | Recommended Requirements |
|---|---|---|
Agents | 50 | 300 |
Processor | 4 vCPUs (e.g., Intel Core i5 or equivalent) | 8 vCPUs Octa-core processor (e.g., Intel Xeon or equivalent) |
RAM | 16 GB | 32 GB or more |
Storage | 100 GB SSD | 500 GB SSD with NVMe |
Network | 1 Gbps Ethernet | 10 Gbps Ethernet |
Worker Node(s):
Component | Minimum Requirements | Recommended Requirements |
|---|---|---|
CPU | Quad-core processor (e.g., Intel Core i5 or equivalent) | Octa-core processor (e.g., Intel Xeon or equivalent) |
RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB or more |
Storage | 100 GB SSD | 500 GB SSD with NVMe |
Network | 1 Gbps Ethernet | 10 Gbps Ethernet |
Software Requirements
Software Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
Operating System | Minimum: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or equivalent Recommended: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or equivalent |
Kubernetes | Version 1.22 or higher |
Docker | Version 20.10 or higher |
Helm | Version 3.0 or higher |
Kubeadm | For setting up the Kubernetes cluster |
Network Requirements
Internal Networking:
Secure and stable network connection between master and worker nodes
Network plugins such as Calico, Flannel, or Weave for pod networking.
External Access:
Configurations for load balancing (e.g., Nginx, HAProxy).
Secure communication channels (e.g., HTTPS, VPN).
Database Configuration
PostgreSQL: Version 16+ for each microservice.
Each microservice should have its own PostgreSQL instance.
Secure and configure cross-service database access.
Persistent Storage: Use Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) in Kubernetes for database storage.
Environment Setup
Container Orchestration:
Kubernetes cluster with at least one master node and multiple worker nodes
Containerization:
Docker or similar container runtime
Namespace Configuration:
Separate namespaces for different environments (e.g., development, staging, production)
