Hi All,

I am looking for hardware requirements (CPU, RAM, HDD) for installing a OpenStack HA cluster.
So far, I gathered few references:
I am considering the cluster with: 3 Controller (for HA) + 1 Compute + 1 Storage.

I have following questions:
  • What is the minimum hardware (CPU, RAM, HDD) requirement to install a OpenStack HA cluster?
  • Can we have 3 Controller nodes installed on 3 Virtual Machines or do we need 3 independent (bare metal) servers?
    • So in case of VM-based controllers, the cluster will be hybrid in nature.
    • I do not know if this is even possible and a recommended design.
  • Do we need the Platform Director node in addition to controller and compute/storage nodes?
Thanks in advance.
Anil.
