Resource Requirements
To ensure a successful DKP install, there are certain requirements to be met. These resource requirements can be slightly different for different Infrastructure Providers.
The general resource requirements are listed after specific providers information.
Infrastructure Provider Specific
For Specific Infrastructure Providers additional requirements apply. An example would be that DKP on Azure defaults to deploying a Standard_D4s_v3 virtual machine with an 128 GiB volume for the OS and an 80GiB volume for etcd storage, which meets the above requirements. For additional information regarding your Infrastructure Provider, please see the related links below:
Amazon (AWS, AWS Air-gapped or EKS)
Microsoft Azure (Azure or AKS)
Google (GCP)
General Resource Requirements
