Self-Hosted installation requirements

Mia-Platform Console Self Hosted installation implies that the customer has already installed in its systems all the required software and tools.

Self-Hosted installation architecture

The following picture shows the high-level architecture for a Self-Hosted Mia-Platform Console installation. The communication between the components must be allowed as shown in the architecture.

Runtime requirements

Applications developed with Mia-Platform Console will run in a Kubernetes environment. This Kubernetes runtime environment is managed and monitored by Mia-Platform Console.
In order to do this, the following requirements must be fulfilled for a self-hosted installation.

Self-Hosted runtime installation prerequisites

The following tools will be installed in your runtime Kubernetes clusters if desired:

  • (Optional) Mia Monitoring stack
  • (Optional) Mia Logging stack
  • (Optional) Traefik Ingress Controller
  • (Optional) Velero for Disaster Recovery
note

These are minimum requirements for your cluster. These requirements have a scale factor that must be taken in account when estimating your cluster size.

ToolNamespace CPU limitsNamespace RAM limitsScales with
Monitoring stack1 core3 GiBNumber of cluster nodes, number of metrics
Logging stack0.5 core1 GiBNumber of cluster nodes, number of applications logs, traffic
Traefik Ingress Controller0.3 core300 MiBTraffic
Velero for Disaster Recovery0.2 core400 MiB-

In total, the minimum requirements in order to host all the above tools in the Kubernetes cluster are about 4 cores and 8 GiB of memory. Above values will scale with the number of nodes, traffic, applications.

Velero, in addition, needs a S3-like bucket storage for keeping the Kubernetes cluster backup.

Suggested resource allocation for your runtime

note

The following requirements are just an approximate reference. For a more accurate estimate, an assessment of your application and architecture is needed.

info

To size your cluster you should reserve a minimum of 3 cores for Operations tools and minimum 2 cores for each Runtime Environment managed by Mia-Platform. A Project can managed one or more Runtime Environment.

Cluster sizing examples:

  • 3 Mia-Platform Project with 3 Runtime Environments: 12 worker nodes (2 cores, 4 GiB RAM each). 5 cores for Operations tools and 19 cores for your applications
  • 5 Mia-Platform Project with 3 Runtime Environments: 18 worker nodes (2 cores, 4 GiB RAM each). 6 cores for Operations tools and 30 cores for your applications
