Instance Sizing Recommendations for OpenShift Container Platform Nodes

Find the recommended values for compute instance CPU, memory, VPU, and volume size for OpenShift Container Platform nodes.

We recommend creating control plane and worker nodes with the minimum values listed in this topic. Optionally, you can use these values to create OCI instance configurations, which are templates that make it easier and faster to create identical compute instances. See Creating an Instance Configuration for instructions on creating instance configurations.

Note

Optionally, you can use Autoscaling for Compute nodes. Autoscaling allows you to specify a minimum and maximum number of nodes, and the system responds to load by automatically provisioning/deprovisioning nodes as needed.
