Prerequisites

🧭 Overview​

Before deploying CSGHUB, ensure that your environment meets the following hardware and software requirements.

Properly configuring the runtime environment is the foundation for system stability and high performance.

⚙️ Hardware Requirements​

📦 Minimum Configuration (Test / Development Environment)​

Resource TypeSpecificationDescription
CPU4 CoreEnsures basic functionality
Memory8 GBSufficient for basic services
Storage200 GBIncludes system and data storage
Network1 GbpsSupports internal and external communication

🚀 Recommended Configuration (Production Environment)​

Resource TypeSpecificationDescription
CPU8 Core or moreSupports high concurrency and large-scale access
Memory16 GB or moreImproves performance and concurrency handling
Storage1 TB SSD or moreProvides high-speed data read/write
Network10 Gbps or moreSuitable for large file transfers and high traffic

🧠 Supported CPU Architectures​

  • ✅ AMD64 / x86-64: Fully supported
  • ✅ ARM64: Fully supported
  • ⚠️ Other architectures: Not supported

☸️ Kubernetes Requirements​

📦 Cluster Version​

  • Minimum Version: Kubernetes 1.28+
  • Recommended Version: Kubernetes 1.29+ or the latest stable version

🔧 Cluster Component Requirements

ComponentRequirementDescription
CNI PluginRequiredSupports Calico, Flannel, Cilium, etc.
CSI DriverRequiredFor dynamic volume management
Gateway API ControllerRecommendedSupports gateway API
LoadBalancerRecommended for productionCan use cloud LB or MetalLB

💾 Persistent Storage Requirements​

  • Must support Dynamic Provisioning
  • At least one StorageClass must exist
  • Storage plugin must comply with the CSI standard
  • Certain components (e.g., Dataflow, Csgship) require ReadWriteMany (RWX) capable storage, otherwise functionality may be limited

  • DNS must resolve correctly to cluster entry nodes

🔒 Security Requirements​

🧾 Certificate Management​

EnvironmentRequirement
ProductionMust use a valid TLS certificate
TestCan use Let’s Encrypt (self-signed not recommended)

🧑‍💻 Access Control​

  • RBAC must be enabled
  • Ensure proper ServiceAccount permissions
  • Enabling NetworkPolicy for network isolation is recommended

✅ Environment Checklist​

Before deployment, run the following commands to verify that your cluster meets the requirements:

# Check Kubernetes version
kubectl version

# Check node status
kubectl get nodes

# Check StorageClass configuration
kubectl get storageclass

# Check Helm version
helm version

If any check fails, please resolve the issues before proceeding with the deployment.
