what are the recommended specs for kubernetes on airbyte?
k
Airbyte’s docs give a few concrete recommendations for Kubernetes deployments: 1. Cluster type (managed services) ◦ Supported: Amazon EKS (on EC2), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE on GCE), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). [Enterprise prereqs; Flex data plane prereqs] ◦ Not supported: Amazon EKS on Fargate. [Enterprise prereqs] 2. Cluster size / nodes (Self‑Managed Enterprise) ◦ EKS cluster on EC2 in 2+ availability zones, with a minimum of 6 nodes. [Enterprise prereqs] 3. Node instance specs ◦ Run on memory‑optimized instances (e.g., M7i / M7g families). [Enterprise prereqs] ◦ At least 2 CPU cores and 8 GB RAM per node. [Enterprise prereqs] 4. Disk space per node ◦ Allocate a minimum of 30 GB disk per node, and err on the side of over‑provisioning (for logs and connector images). [Scaling guide] 5. Pod capacity / concurrency rule of thumb ◦ Ensure the cluster can schedule up to
2 ×
number of possible concurrent connections pods at once (each sync uses two workers). [Scaling guide] 6. Tooling required for Kubernetes deployments ◦
helm
and
kubectl
installed and configured for your cluster;
kubectl create namespace airbyte
for the Airbyte namespace. [Enterprise prereqs] If you share your expected number of concurrent syncs and cloud provider, I can help map these guidelines to a more concrete cluster sizing. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
