LogScale Self-Hosted Deployment
This is an archived version of the documentation downloaded from LogScale Documentation Archives. Up to date documentation, and documentation for later versions, is available on LogScale Documentation

### Instance Sizing

Assumptions:

- 30 Day Retention on NVME (gen4)

- 20% Overhead left on NVME (gen4)

- 10x Compression

- Supported Object Storage provider

- Kafka 5x Compression - 24 Hour Storage

- LogScale requires a kafka cluster most commonly provided by the Strimzi Kubernetes operator or Amazon MSK (required up to LogScale 1.107.0).

Kafka clusters are separate from LogScale clusters to avoid resource contention and allow independent management.

### Important

Any deployed LogScale instance should not be sharing resources with any other services and it should be a dedicated node to avoid resource contention. LogScale assumes that all spare memory is available for use by LogScale.
