This section describes the basic requirements for setting up a
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster
suitable for an Apigee hybrid non-production installation.
Creating the cluster
For information about creating GKE clusters, see
Creating a cluster in the GKE documentation.
Non-production cluster requirements
Follow these requirements when
creating your non-production cluster.
Software versions
Requirement
Value
Kubernetes version
Version 1.14.x or later
You can find the supported Kubernetes cluster versions by issuing the following
command:
gcloud container get-server-config
Supported versions are returned under the validMasterVersions: heading.
Choose these template configuration options for your non-production GKE cluster:
Configuration
Value
Cluster template
Standard cluster
Location type
Zonal
Availability zones
3
Storage
Storage is provisioned dynamically using the StatefulSet dynamic provisioner.
Node requirements
A
node pool is a group of nodes within a cluster that all have the same configuration. By
default, you must configure two node pools in your cluster -- one for the stateful Cassandra
pods and one for the rest of the pods, which are stateless.
Configure these two node pools
as described below:
Stateful node pool configuration
Configure a stateful node pool as follows:
Configuration
Value
Name
apigee-data
Minimum number of nodes
3
Machine type
N1-standard-4 (Standard machine type with 4 vCPUs, 15 GB of memory)
Storage
Storage will be provisioned dynamically using StatefulSet
dynamic provisioner
Stateless node pool configuration
Configure a stateless node pool as follows:
Configuration
Value
Name
apigee-runtime
Minimum number of nodes
3 (If you run into resource constraints, choose 2)
Machine type
N1-standard-4 (Standard machine type with 4 vCPUs, 15 GB of memory)
