Low resource mode requirements

Review the memory, storage, and hardware requirements for getting started with the Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) service in low resource mode on Red Hat OpenShift and Embedded Container Service (ECS). This mode reduces the minimum amount of hardware needed.

To get started with the CDW service on Red Hat OpenShift or ECS low resource mode, make sure you have fulfilled the following requirements:

  • CDP Cloudera Manager must be installed and running.
  • CDP Private Cloud must be installed and running. See Installing on OpenShift and Installing on ECS for more details.
  • An environment must have been registered with Management Console on the private cloud. See CDP Private Cloud Environments for more details.
  • In addition to the general requirements, CDW also has the following minimum memory, storage, and hardware requirements for each worker node using the standard resource mode:
Component Low resource mode deployment
Nodes 4
CPU 4
Memory 48 GB
Storage 3 x 100 GB (SATA) or 2 x 200 GB (SATA)
Network Bandwidth 1 GB/s guaranteed bandwidth to every CDP Private Cloud Base node

Virtual Warehouse low resource mode resource requirements

The following requirements are in addition to the low resource mode requirements listed in the previous section.
