Hardware requirements
This page outlines the hardware requirements for running Infrahub, including minimum and recommended specifications, enterprise sizing, cloud provider machine types, and a utility for benchmarking your system's performance.
If you only want to try Infrahub, follow the quick start.
General hardware requirements
The system on which you want to run Infrahub should meet the following requirements:
| Level | CPU Cores | RAM | Storage / database (Neo4j) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 6 | 12GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
| Recommended | 8 | 16GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
For cloud deployments, use at least the following machine types:
| Cloud provider | Machine type |
|---|---|
| Google Cloud Platform | c3d-standard-4 |
| Amazon Web Services | m7a.xlarge |
| Microsoft Azure | Standard_D4as_v5 |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | VM.Standard.E5 |
| Alibaba Cloud | ecs.g8a.xlarge |
Enterprise sizing Enterprise Edition
For enterprise deployments, use these guidelines:
| Enterprise Product | CPU Cores | RAM | Storage / database (Neo4j) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 4 | 12GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
| Medium Data | 8 | 16GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
| Medium Action | 8 | 16GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
| Large Data | 16 | 32GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
| Large Action | 16 | 32GB | SSD and/or >= 5000 IOPS |
Performance benchmark utility
To evaluate your system's performance, use our benchmarking utility. It tests CPU, memory, and disk IOPS.
note
Even with the right amount of CPU cores and memory, other factors such as CPU speed can impact Infrahub performance.
Run the tool using Docker:
❯ docker run --pull always --rm registry.opsmill.io/opsmill/bench
