Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform hardware requirements
Cloudera Private Cloud requires hardware for a dedicated
OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster. An OpenShift cluster consists of several master
nodes for managing OpenShift and many worker nodes for running your application on Cloudera.
The sizing of the OpenShift cluster depends on:
The OpenShift cluster setup on the master nodes
Application workloads deployed on the worker nodes
The Cloudera Private Cloud Data Services is installed on the
OpenShift worker nodes with SSD disks.
The following table lists the hardware requirements for each node type. You require at
least 3 minimum OpenShift Master Nodes + 1 Cluster System Admin Host (CSAH) Node + 1
Bootstrap Node. You need worker nodes based on your application workload
requirements.

Additionally, if you plan to run Cloudera Data Warehouse or Cloudera AI data services workloads, you need to ensure that you
meet the minimum requirements for each of those Data Services.
You can install Cloudera Private Cloud Data Services in a low resource
mode for Cloudera Data Warehouse workloads. For more information about
OpenShift low resource mode requirements for Cloudera Data Warehouse, see
