This is the operating system installed by the [PVC Node installer](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster/pvc-installer) and expected by the [PVC Ansible deployment playbooks](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster/pvc-ansible). No other operating systems, including derivatives of Debian, are supported by PVC. diff --git a/docs/deployment/hardware-requirements.md b/docs/deployment/hardware-requirements.md index 35d2a8b..85ebdf1 100644 --- a/docs/deployment/hardware-requirements.md +++ b/docs/deployment/hardware-requirements.md @@ -2,12 +2,12 @@ title: Hardware Requirements --- -[TOC] - PVC has relatively stringent restrictions on the hardware it can run on, in order to provide an optimal experience and production-grade performance, redundancy, and security. This document outlines the **minimum** and **recommended** hardware specifications, of each major device class, for running a production-grade PVC cluster. Note, however, that your individual needs may be different, and thus your own recommended minimum requirements may be higher, even significantly higher, than those outlined here. One of PVC's benefits is the ability to seamlessly take nodes offline for maintenance, so upgrading hardware in the future is a fairly trivial task, but ensuring you get the right performance from the beginning can be critical to the success of a cluster deployment project. +[TOC] + ## N-1 Redunancy This document details the recommendations for *individual* node hardware choices, however it is important to consider the entire cluster when sizing nodes.
