Characteristics of VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance:

• Deploys on AKS cluster
• Deploys on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster
• Deploys with VMware Telco Cloud Automation
• Uses different footprint options for deployment based on the number of managed devices (see the following table). See the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Systems Requirements section for more details about footprint options. Some footprint sizes allow you to choose either a High Availability (HA) or non-HA version. The HA version requires more nodes as listed in the footprint specification.

  Footprint	Number of Devices
  2.5 K	Up to 2,500 managed devices
  25 K	Up to 25,000 managed devices
  50 K	Up to 50,000 managed devices
  100 K	Up to 100,000 managed devices
