Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform hardware requirements
Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) Private Cloud requires hardware for a dedicated
OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster. An OpenShift cluster consists of several master
nodes for managing OpenShift and many worker nodes for running your application on CDP.
The sizing of the OpenShift cluster depends on:
The OpenShift cluster setup on the master nodes
Application workloads deployed on the worker nodes
The CDP Private Cloud Data Services is installed on the
OpenShift worker nodes with SSD disks.
The following table lists the hardware requirements for each node type. You require at
least 3 minimum OpenShift Master Nodes + 1 Cluster System Admin Host (CSAH) Node + 1
Bootstrap Node. You need worker nodes based on your application workload
requirements.

Additionally, if you plan to run Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) or Cloudera Machine
Learning (CML) data services workloads, you need to ensure that you meet the minimum
requirements for each of those Data Services.
You can install CDP Private Cloud Data Services in a low resource mode for Cloudera Data
Warehouse (CDW) workloads. For more information about OpenShift low resource mode
requirements for CDW, see Get started with OpenShift low resource mode
requirements using the link in the related information section.
