Capacity and Planning

Overview

The Cloudify Compact Cluster deployment is based on 3 servers, each running all of the Cloudify services. The services are deployed in an active-active approach with a high-availability setup. A Compact Cluster provides an enterprise-grade Cloudify deployment suitable to almost any organization, with a performance and scale equivalent to a fully distributed cluster containing 3 managers and with the option of further scaling using higher form factor hardware. The Compact Cluster is designed for mission-critical use.

Recommended resources for each of the 3 nodes:

• The recommended specs were certified with 1M deployments and an average rate of over 2,500 workflows per hour.
• Adding more resources has proven to be successful for higher loads.
