Deploy a PCG
You can install a Private Cloud Gateway (PCG) on a Linux server to support Palette or VerteX deployments. Use the Palette CLI to install the PCG if you are targeting a VMware vSphere environment, MAAS, OpenStack, or Apache CloudStack. For other environments, refer to the Deploy PCG to a Kubernetes Cluster guide.
Select the installation guide that matches your environment in the Next Steps section to learn how to deploy a PCG.
PCG Sizing
The following tables provide the recommended sizing for the PCG based on the number of nodes, CPU, memory, storage, and the maximum concurrent cluster deployments. You can continue to deploy additional clusters once the current clusters deployment batch is complete.
We recommend using a minimum of 3 nodes for production environments. Single-node clusters are better suited for development and testing environments.
Single-Node Cluster
| Size | Nodes | CPU | Memory | Storage | Maximum concurrent cluster deployments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 1 | 4 | 4 GB | 60 GB | 1-3 |
| Medium | 1 | 8 | 8 GB | 100 GB | 4-6 |
| Large | 1 | 16 | 16 GB | 120 GB | 7-10 |
High-Availability (HA) Cluster
| Size | Nodes | CPU | Memory | Storage | Maximum concurrent cluster deployments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 3 | 4 | 4 GB | 60 GB | 4-6 |
| Medium | 3 | 8 | 8 GB | 100 GB | 7-10 |
| Large | 3 | 16 | 16 GB | 120 GB | 10-15 |
