If you are deploying VMware Telco Cloud Automation in the High Availability (HA) mode, ensure that your system meets the following requirements in addition to the general system requirements.

Note: The requirements listed in this section are the minimum resource requirements for deploying VMware Telco Cloud Automation in the HA mode. The total resource requirements can vary depending on the number of domains you configure in your environment.

Bootstrapper Virtual Machines

One VMware Telco Cloud Automation bootstrapper virtual machine per management domain and workload domain. For example, a Central Site management domain has one bootstrapper virtual machine and every workload domain has one bootstrapper virtual machine.

VMware Telco Cloud Automation Clusters

Clusters are required for running the VMware Telco Cloud Automation Manager and the VMware Telco Cloud Automation Control Plane services on different namespaces. The VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster is where VMware Telco Cloud Automation and other third party services run. The cluster requirements are:

Components Control Plane Node Worker Node
Replicas 3 3
CPU 8 8
Memory 16384 MB 16384 MB
Disk Space 50 GB 50 GB

Bootstrapper Cluster

Note: Required only on setups that include the VMware Telco Cloud Automation Control Plane.
Components Control Plane Node Worker Node
Replicas 1 1
CPU 2 2
Memory 4 GB 4 GB
Disk Space 50 GB 50 GB

IP Addresses

Component Number of IP Addresses
Bootstrapper Virtual Machine One for each virtual machine.
Control Plane Endpoint IP One for each cluster.
Bootstrapper Cluster One for each cluster.
VMware Telco Cloud Automation Manager One for each instance. It must be routable to the cluster network.
VMware Telco Cloud Automation Control Plane One for each instance. It must be routable to the cluster network.
