This topic describes minimum cluster configurations for
Apigee hybrid. These minimum configurations apply to all of the supported
Kubernetes platforms.
About node pools
A node pool is a group of nodes within a cluster that all have the same configuration. By
default, hybrid assigns all pods to the default node pool; however, you can create dedicated
node pools and assign hybrid components to them as a way of distributing resources.
Typically, you define dedicated node pools when you have pods with differing resource
requirements. For example, the apigee-cassandra pods require persistent storage, while
the other Apigee hybrid pods do not. For this reason, we recommend that you create
a stateful node pool for Cassandra and a stateless node pool for the rest of the hybrid
runtime services. See Configure dedicated node pools for
details.
The following section lists configurations for both stateful and stateless node pools.
