Instance Sizing Recommendations
Bare-Metal/VM/Kubernetes Workers
Assumptions:
30 Day Retention on NVME (gen4)
20% Overhead left on NVME (gen4)

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 that it should be a dedicated node to avoid resource contention. LogScale assumes that all spare memory is available for use by LogScale.
