Fuel Master node hardware requirements¶

When planning hardware for the Fuel Master node, verify that your hardware meets the following minimum requirements:

For a production environment:

• Quad-core CPU
• 4 GB RAM
• 10 Gigabit network port
• Disk size depends on the number of deployed nodes. All nodes send logs to the Fuel Master node using rsyslog. During installation, Fuel creates a separate partition for /var to store the remote logs and allocates 40% of the disk size to it. Our recommendation for the remote logs partition is 20 GB per node. If you deploy 10 nodes with Fuel, you need to have a (20 x 10) x 2.5 = 500 GB disk for the Fuel Master node.
• IPMI access through an independent management network

For a testing environment:

• Dual-core CPU
• 2 GB RAM
• 1 Gigabit network port
• 50 GB disk
• Physical console access
