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This is an archived version of the documentation downloaded from LogScale Documentation Archives.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 NVME

- 20% Overhead left on NVME

- 10x Compression

- GCS Bucket storage used for longer retention

- LogScale does not provide a self-hosted Kubernetes solution for Kafka

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