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 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

• 12 Core

• 32 Gi Memory

Required for Scheduling by Kubernetes

• 6 Core

• 24 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. For information on operating system and environment support, see Operating System Support.

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

  • Symphony v25.4 and later uses RabbitMQ StatefulSet

• NGINX Ingress Controller
