# 2.1.1 Kubernetes Requirement

Kubernetes Requirement is available in the following three enterprise-scale configurations:

* Small-Scale Enterprise
* Medium-Scale Enterprise
* Large-Scale Enterprise

### **I. Small-Scale Enterprise**

For a Small-Scale Enterprise, the infrastructure requirements are as follows:\
\
**Scope**

1. **Ceiling Value**

   1. Up to 5 Kafka Cluster
   2. Up to 16 Broker
   3. Up to 1000 Topics

   |           Component           | Pods |   CPU  |  RAM  | Storage |
   | :---------------------------: | :--: | :----: | :---: | :-----: |
   |          LiveStreamIQ         |   1  | 4 vCPU | 16 GB |  50 GB  |
   | PostgreSQL 17 and TimescaleDB |   1  | 2 vCPU |  8 GB |  100 GB |
2. **Total Configuration Required:**

|   CPU  |  RAM  | Storage |
| :----: | :---: | :-----: |
| 6 vCPU | 24 GB |  150 GB |

### II. Medium Enterprise

For a Medium-Scale Enterprise, the infrastructure requirements are as follows:

**Scope**

1. **Ceiling Value:**

   1. Up to 20 Kafka Cluster
   2. Up to 300 Broker
   3. Up to 20,000 Topics

   |      Component     | Pods |   CPU  |  RAM  | Storage |
   | :----------------: | :--: | :----: | :---: | :-----: |
   |    LiveStreamIQ    |   3  | 8 vCPU | 24 GB |  150 GB |
   | PostgreSQL Primary |   1  | 4 vCPU | 16 GB |  500 GB |
   | PostgreSQL Replica |   1  | 4 vCPU | 16 GB |  500 GB |
2. **Total Configuration Required:**

|   CPU   |  RAM  | Storage |
| :-----: | :---: | :-----: |
| 16 vCPU | 56 GB |   1 TB  |

### III. Large Enterprise

For a Large-Scale Enterprise, the infrastructure requirements are as follows:

**Scope**

1. **Ceiling Value:**

   1. Up to 50 Kafka Cluster
   2. Up to 1000 Broker
   3. Up to 100,000 Topics

   |      Component     | Pods |     CPU     |     RAM    |  Storage  |
   | :----------------: | :--: | :---------: | :--------: | :-------: |
   |    LiveStreamIQ    |   4  |   16 vCPU   |    32 GB   |   500 GB  |
   | PostgreSQL Primary |   1  |    8 vCPU   |    32 GB   |    2 TB   |
   | PostgreSQL Replica |   2  | 8 vCPU each | 32 Gb each | 2 TB each |
2. **Total Configuration Required:**

|   CPU   |   RAM  | Storage |
| :-----: | :----: | :-----: |
| 40 vCPU | 128 GB |  6.5 TB |

*These values define the recommended baseline for each deployment size and should be reviewed against expected workload, topic growth, retention period, and high-availability requirements before finalizing the cluster design.*

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.livestreamiq.com/readme/2.-installation/2.1-system-requirement/2.1.1-kubernetes-requirement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
