The hardware requirements for SUSE Telco Cloud are as follows:
Management cluster: The management cluster contains components like SUSE Linux Micro, RKE2, SUSE Rancher Prime, Metal3, and it is used to manage several downstream clusters. Depending on the number of downstream clusters to be managed, the hardware requirements for the server could vary.
Minimum requirements for the server (VM or bare-metal) are:
RAM: 8 GB Minimum (we recommend at least 16 GB)
CPU: 2 Minimum (we recommend at least 4 CPU)
Downstream clusters: The downstream clusters are the clusters deployed to run Telco workloads. Specific requirements are needed to enable certain Telco capabilities like SR-IOV, CPU Performance Optimization, etc.
SR-IOV: to attach VFs (Virtual Functions) in pass-through mode to CNFs/VNFs, the NIC must support SR-IOV and VT-d/AMD-Vi be enabled in the BIOS.
CPU Processors: To run specific Telco workloads, the CPU Processor model should be adapted to enable most of the features available in this reference table (Part VI, “Telco features configuration”).
Firmware requirements for installing with virtual media:
