Sizing Requirements for High Availability Deployments

Review sizing requirements for Cortex XSOAR 6.13 high availability deployments.

App Servers

Cortex XSOAR recommends you have at least 2 application servers meeting the requirements listed below, as well as a load balancer and shared file system.

Component	Dev Environment Minimum	Production Minimum
CPU	8 CPU cores	16 CPU cores
Memory	16 GB RAM	32 GB RAM
Storage Note The storage requirement is irrespective of the file share.	100 GB SSD	250 GB SSD with minimum 1k dedicated IOPS Note Depending on the size of your log files, consider increasing this to 500 GB.

File Share Server

Cortex XSOAR recommends your file sharing server meet the following minimum requirements.

Note

• If you are using Amazon EFS, GCP File Store, or Azure Files, verify that you are only using these systems for your file sharing and not as the database or application servers.
• The file sharing server must be in the same virtual private cloud as the application servers.

Component	Dev Environment Minimum	Production Minimum
Storage	100 GB SSD	250 GB SSD with minimum 1k dedicated IOPS

Elasticsearch Database Development Configuration

Environment	Number of Nodes	Elastic Node Roles
