Cozystack utilizes Talos Linux, a minimalistic Linux distribution designed solely to run Kubernetes. Usually, this means you cannot share a server with any services other than those run by Cozystack. The good news is that whichever service you need, Cozystack will run it perfectly: securely, efficiently, and in a fully containerized or virtualized environment.

Hardware requirements depend on your usage scenario. Below are several common deployment options; review them to determine which setup fits your needs best.

System Resource Planning Recommendations

This guide helps you plan system resource allocation per node based on cluster size and tenant count. Recommendations are based on production deployments and provide reasonably accurate estimates for planning purposes.

Important: Values shown are only for system components. Add your tenant workload requirements (applications, databases, Kubernetes clusters, VMs, etc.) on top of these.

Quick start: Allocate at least 2 CPU cores and 6 GB RAM per node for system components. For precise requirements based on your cluster size and tenant count, use the table or calculator below.
