HCL CDP Hardware Sizing Details For AWS

This section outlines the minimum hardware requirements to guide AWS infrastructure sizing for the deployment of HCL CDP in support of application deployment.

The objective of this guide is to provide an estimated baseline for the AWS infrastructure components—CPU, memory, storage, and network resources—necessary to achieve expected performance levels and ensure a reliable, efficient operational environment.

The hardware sizing details include:

  • Number of servers per component
  • Per-server specifications (vCPU, RAM, and Storage)
  • Total resource footprint
These recommendations serve as a starting point for capacity planning and should be adapted based on workload characteristics, usage patterns, and scaling expectations.
Note: All the metrics of associated components are calculated for a single pod. Based on the workload, user can increase the resources/pods.
