节点池是集群中全都具有相同配置的一组节点。默认情况下，Hybrid 会将所有 pod 都分配给默认节点池；不过，您可以创建专用节点池，并采用分配资源的方式为其分配 Hybrid 组件。
通常，如果 pod 具有不同的资源要求，您可以定义专用节点池。例如，apigee-cassandra pod 需要永久性存储空间，而其他 Apigee Hybrid pod 则不需要。因此，我们建议您为 Cassandra 创建有状态节点池，为其余的 Hybrid 运行时服务创建无状态节点池。如需了解详情，请参阅配置专用节点池。

For more information, see [Supported versions](/apigee/docs/hybrid/supported-platforms#supported-versions).\n\n\nThis topic describes minimum cluster configurations for\nApigee hybrid. These minimum configurations apply to all of the supported\n[Kubernetes platforms](/apigee/docs/hybrid/supported-platforms).\n\nAbout node pools\n----------------\n\n\nA node pool is a group of nodes within a cluster that all have the same configuration. By\ndefault, hybrid assigns all pods to the default node pool; however, you can create dedicated\nnode pools and assign hybrid components to them as a way of distributing resources.\n\n\nTypically, you define dedicated node pools when you have pods with differing resource\nrequirements. For example, the `apigee-cassandra` pods require persistent storage, while\nthe other Apigee hybrid pods do not. For this reason, we recommend that you create\na stateful node pool for Cassandra and a stateless node pool for the rest of the hybrid\nruntime services. See [Configure dedicated node pools](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.8/configure-dedicated-nodes) for\ndetails.\n\n\nThe following section lists configurations for both stateful and stateless node pools.\n\nMinimum configurations\n----------------------\n\n\nUse these minimum configurations when setting up your cluster:\n\n| **Note:** For **production** environments, we recommend a minimum of two clusters.\n\nCassandra network requirements\n------------------------------\n\n\nCassandra uses the\n[Gossip protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_protocol) to\nexchange information with other nodes about network topology.\n\n\nThe use of Gossip plus the distributed nature of Cassandra---which involves talking to multiple\nnodes for read and write operations---results in a lot of data transfer through the network.\n\n\nApigee recommends using instance type with a minimum 1 Gbps network bandwidth and more than 1 Gbps\nfor production systems.\n\nCassandra NTP requirements\n--------------------------\n\n\nCassandra data synchronizes based on the timestamp of the system. Ensure that the time is\nsynchronized across all pods and all regions within the Cassandra cluster. Time delays\nbetween the nodes and regions causes data inconsistencies.\n\nScaling the configuration\n-------------------------\n\n\nIf you need to scale your initial configuration based on additional capacity or throughput needs,\nsee the following topics:\n\n- [Configuring Cassandra for production](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.8/cassandra-production)\n- [Scaling Cassandra pods](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.8/cassandra-scaling)\n- [Configuring dedicated node pools](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.8/configure-dedicated-nodes)\n- [Scale and autoscale runtime services](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.8/scale-and-autoscale)"]]
