Installation Prerequisites

Minimum Requirements:

• CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18 Virtual Machine. 
  • Use a dedicated virtual machine with no other production applications running on it. Install and update the base OS packages to the latest versions.
  • Ensure Internet connectivity to automatically install and configure software dependencies.
• vCPU/Core: 8*
  • Example: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8175M CPU @ 2.50 GHz
• RAM: 32 GB*
• NIC interface: 1
• Disks mounted to the Virtual Machine: 2**
  • Host OS: 100 GB minimum
  • Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    /Docker storage: 
    • Recommended 1 TB. Minimum 500 GB*.
• Docker version 20.10.6
• Docker Compose version 1.28.5
• Minimum screen resolution of FHD (1920x1080).

*CPU, Memory and Disk resources should have monitor and alert functions configured using tools native to the environment. It is recommended that you monitor and alert at generally safe thresholds, for example use 75% of the capacity and increase the resources available to the system as necessary. 

**Configure and mount an additional disk/file system at /var/lib/docker/ prior to any installation activities. This provides greater flexibility and reliability on production systems. A sample configuration guide is provided under Configuring Storage for EdgeView and Docker section.
