Kubernetes Cluster Hardware Requirements and Recommendations
Kubernetes Master Node Requirements
-
Minimum Specifications:
- 8 CPUs
- 16 GB RAM
- 50 GB Disk
-
Recommended Specifications:
- 16 CPUs
- 32 GB RAM
- 100 GB Disk
Kubernetes Worker Node Requirements
-
Minimum Specifications:
- 4 CPUs
- 8 GB RAM
- 100 GB Disk
-
Recommendations:
- The more resources available, the better the performance, especially for handling a higher number of concurrent deployments.
- It is crucial to maximize CPU capacity. For instance, with 8 CPUs, 100 GB RAM, and 2 TB storage, the CPU would likely be the bottleneck. Since people tend to deploy at least 1 CPU per deployment, the server could only host 8 deployments maximum and likely about 6 deployments as other ~2 CPUs will be reserved by the Kubernetes system components.
