(v24) System Requirements

System Requirements

Symphony can be downloaded and installed in a Kubernetes environment.

Kubernetes Prerequisites and Required Resources

The following prerequisites are required for a successful deployment using Kubernetes and the Helm chart for Symphony:

1. A Kubernetes cluster (versions 1.23-1.27) of appropriate compute availability.

   • Install Kubernetes or have access to a cluster.

   • The Helm CLI installed.

   • A local copy of kubectl configured to work with your cluster.

2. Helm (3.8-3.11). See Installing Helm.

3. Access to Docker Hub.

The SymphonyHelm chart was developed with portability in mind. It relies only on Vanilla Kubernetes features and doesn’t use any (cloud) vendor-specific features. Testing is performed in an Amazon EKS cluster and Minikube: you should need to make little to no modifications while working with other flavors of Kubernetes such as Azure AKS or Google GKE.

Required Resources - Managed Dashboards and Reports

There are no specific limits in the Helm chart by default, but we suggest the following compute availability on your cluster:

Recommended Compute Availability

• 10 Cores

• 24 Gi Memory

Required for Scheduling by Kubernetes

• 4 Cores

• 16 Gi Memory

Important: These specifications are intended as an initial installation guide. Your environment's specific workloads may demand a higher number of cores and more memory available for computing.

Other Requirements

The memory requirements above do not take into account other components that are a part of Symphony. These components are external to Helm chart requirements. Size your environment following the recommendations for each component. These components include:

• PostgreSQL

• RabbitMQ

• NGINX Ingress Controller
