Cluster Requirements
Kubernetes version
Running Akamas Studio requires a cluster running Kubernetes version 1.24 or higher.
Resources requirements
Akamas Studio can be deployed in three different sizes depending on the number of concurrent optimization studies that will be executed. If you are unsure about which size is appropriate for your environment we suggest you start with the small one and upgrade to bigger ones as you expand the optimization activity to more applications.
The tables below report the required resources both for requests and limits that should be available in the cluster to use Akamas Studio.
The resources specified on this page have been defined by considering using a dedicated namespace to run only Akamas Studio components. If your cluster has additional tools (E.g. a service mesh or a monitoring agent) that inject containers in the Akamas Studio pods we suggest either disabling them or increasing the sizing considering their overhead. Also if you plan to deploy other software inside the Akamas Studio namespace and resource quotas are enabled you should increase the size considering the resources required by the specific software.

Storage requirements
The cluster must define a Storage Class so that the application installation can leverage Persistent Volume Claims to dynamically provision the volumes required to persist data.
For more information on this topic, refer to Kubernetes' official documentation.
Permissions
To install and run Akamas Studio cluster-level permissions are not required. This is the minimal set of namespaced rules.
Networking
Networking requirements depend on how users interact with Akamas Studio. Services can be exposed via Ingress or using kubectl as a proxy. Refer to Accessing Akamas Studio for a more detailed description of the available options.
