System Requirements
The Management Console may be installed on a single Docker host or in a dedicated Kubernetes cluster:
- A Docker Host is suitable for small-scale deployments, managing up to several hundred production nodes
- A Kubernetes Cluster is suitable for small and large-scale deployments
| Feature | Requirements (Docker) | Requirements (Kubernetes) |
|---|---|---|
| CPU: No of cores | 4 | 3 nodes, 4 cores each |
| RAM | 16 GB | 3 nodes, 8 GB each |
| Telemetry and data from Deepfence Sensors | Port 443 (configurable), firewalled | Port 443 (configurable), firewalled |
| Administrative and API access | Port 443 (configurable), firewalled | Port 443 (configurable), firewalled |
| Docker | *Version 20.10.18 (minimum version 18.06.0) | |
| Tuning | sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 # details |
Larger deployments, managing 250 or more production nodes, will require additional CPU and RAM resources. For enterprise-scale deployments, managing 1000+ production nodes, the ThreatMapper Console should be deployed on a Kubernetes cluster of 3 or more nodes.
