Hardware requirements
Use this table to determine whether you have the minimum required resources to install the service on Cloud Pak for Data.
- Unless explicitly stated, the service can be scheduled across existing worker nodes
- If a service requires dedicated nodes, the documentation for the service describes how to prevent other services from running on those nodes.
Review Storage considerations to determine whether the storage that you plan to use is supported on your cluster architecture.
Service | x86-64 | POWER® | Z | vCPU | Memory | Storage requirements | Notes |

Anaconda Repository with IBM | ✓ | 4 vCPU | 8 GB RAM | 500 GB | This service cannot be installed on your Red Hat® OpenShift cluster. For details, see the Anaconda installation requirements. | ||
Analytics Engine Powered by Apache Spark | ✓ | ✓ | 4 vCPU | 16 GB RAM | 50 GB Supported storage types:
|
Minimum resources for an installation with a single replica per service. These resources are sufficient to install the microservices that enable you to create Spark runtimes. However, the resources required for the actual runtimes vary based on your workload. Work with IBM Sales to get a more accurate sizing based on your expected workload. Spark runtimes Spark jobs use emptyDir volumes for temporary storage and for shuffling. If
your Spark jobs use a lot of disk space for temporary storage or shuffling, ensure that you have
sufficient space on the local disk where emptyDIR volumes are created:
If you don't have sufficient space on the local disk, Spark jobs might run slowly and some of the executors might evict jobs. In general, it is recommended that you have a minimum of 50 GB of temporary storage for each vCPU request. |

Multitenancy support
According to Gartner, multitenancy is:
Multitenancy is a reference to the mode of operation of software where multiple independent instances of one or multiple applications operate in a shared environment. The instances (tenants) are logically isolated, but physically integrated. The degree of logical isolation must be complete, but the degree of physical integration will vary.
- Installing multiple instances of a service in the same Red Hat OpenShift project (namespace).
- Installing a single instance of the service in the Red Hat OpenShift project (namespace) and then provisioning multiple instances of that service.
- Installing multiple instances of a service in different Red Hat OpenShift projects that are tethered to a single deployment Cloud Pak for Data.
- Installing multiple instances of a service in different Cloud Pak for Data projects that are associated with separate Cloud Pak for Data deployments.
For more information on these mechanisms, see Architecture for Cloud Pak for Data.
Use this table to determine which mechanisms the service that you want to install supports.
Service | Multiple installations in a single namespace | Multiple service instances from a single installation | Multiple installations in tethered namespaces | Multiple installations in separate namespaces (separate Cloud Pak for Data deployments) |
