Kubernetes cluster requirements

Review the resource profiles and node sizing required before you install with the SMP Operator.

Your cluster must provide enough capacity for the deployment scale you expect, and you set that scale through a resource profile. This topic covers the available profiles and the namespace you install into.

Resource profiles

The Harness Platform uses resource profiles to match your deployment scale. Select a profile based on your expected usage.

The following table lists each profile with the concurrent pipeline capacity, the team size it suits, and the YAML file that defines it.

Profile	Concurrent Pipelines	Recommended Team Size	YAML File
Small	Up to 50	Fewer than 50 users	override-small.yaml
Medium	Up to 200	50 to 200 users	override-medium.yaml
Large	Over 200	200+ users	override-large.yaml

Set the profile during installation.

helm

cluster:
  profile: medium

clustermgr

--pi-set cluster.profile=medium

For detailed resource allocations per profile, see the Harness resource profiles documentation.

Namespace configuration

Install the platform into a dedicated namespace. Specify the namespace with whichever method you use to install.

helm

Use helm install ... -n <namespace> --create-namespace.

clustermgr

Use --namespace <namespace>. The default namespace is harness.
