Resource Requirements

Various resources required for deployment

The resource requirements pertain to the provisioning of resources for Kubernetes-based infrastructure required to house OpenG2P modules. See deployment architecture.

Virtual machines (VMs)

The table below specifies typical requirements for V4 deployment architecture. These configurations are recommended for both internal organisation deployment as well as for pilot/production/rollouts.

For high availability and greater resilience refer to the production guide.

Purpose	Compute/Memory/Storage	Notes
Wireguard Bastion	2vCPU/4 GB RAM/32 GB storage	Multiple Wireguard servers can run on a single node
NFS Server	2 vCPU/8 GB RAM/128 GB storage	Used for persistence both Rancher and OpenG2P clusters. The actual size of storage will depend on usage.
Rancher cluster	4vCPU/16 GB RAM/128 GB storage	For high-availability refer to production guide.
OpenG2P cluster	16 vCPU/64 GB RAM/256 GB storage	Minimum requirement. The requirement may increase based on number of modules installed and need for higher resilience and availability. Refer to the production guide. You may provision these resources on more than one VMs with minimum configuration of each VM being 8 vCPU/32 GB RAM/128 GB storage.
Nginx	2 vCPU/8 GB RAM/64 GB	Multiple Nginx servers can run on a single node.

Note:

OS for all nodes: Ubuntu 22.04 Server

Networking

• All the machines in the same network

• Public IP assigned to the Wireguard machine

DNS

The domain names and mappings are required. The suggested domain name convention is as follows:

<module>.<environment>.<organisation>.<tld>

Example:

• spar.dev.openg2p.org

• socialregistry.uat.openg2p.org

Domain mapping

Requirement Description	Domain Name (examples)	Mapped to
Domain mapping to sandbox	dev.openg2p.net uat.openg2p.net staging.openg2p.org	"A" Record mapped to Load Balancer IP (For sandbox, where LB is not used, this can be mapped directly to nodes of the K8s cluster, at least 3 nodes).
Wild card mapping to modules	*.dev.openg2p.net *.uat.openg2p.net *.staging.openg2p.org	"CNAME" Record mapped to the domain of the above "A" record. (This is a wildcard DNS mapping)

The domain name mapping needs to be done on your domain service provider. For example, on AWS this is configured on Route 53.

Certificates

At least one wildcard certificate is required depending on the above domain names used. This can also be generated using Letsencrypt. See guide here.
