Compute requirements
Compute is sold per CU on the NodeOps Cloud Marketplace. These CUs are provided according to the requirements listed on this reference page.
tip
1CU = 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 30GB NVMe Disk
Compute requirements for Machines on NodeOps Cloud Marketplace
Machines must
Comply with the minimum hardware and port requirements:
- CPUs or vCPUs: ≥2
- GB RAM: ≥4
- SSD storage: ≥80GB NVMe Storage
- Network bandwidth: ≥1Gbps unlimited
- Uptime: ≥ 99%
- OS: Debian (12+) or Ubuntu (22.04+) installation with Linux kernel 6.1+, updated with the latest security patches
- Allow traffic on ports:
- UDP 8472
- TCP 10250
- UDP 51820
- UDP 51821
- Run the Protocol at root
Machines must not:
- Run additional workloads
- Have third-party applications or monitoring agents installed
- Enable SWAP
- Be exposed to intervention with the workload or machines
Run at root
NodeOps Network's integration must be run directly on a machine at root:
- You can't run it in Docker
- Don't run it on a homelab
What next?
- Register as a Compute provider
- Understand more about managing a Machine
- If you just want to run a proof of concept, but don't have a Machine with enough capacity, don't worry, you can re-sell Cloud Compute.
