About OpenShift cluster sizing for the Intel AMX accelerated Medical Diagnosis pattern
The minimum requirements for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster depend on your installation platform, for example:
For AWS, see Installing OpenShift Container Platform on AWS.
For bare-metal, see Installing OpenShift Container Platform on bare metal.
To understand cluster sizing requirements for the Intel AMX accelerated Medical Diagnosis pattern, consider the following components that the Intel AMX accelerated Medical Diagnosis pattern deploys on the datacenter or the hub OpenShift cluster:
| Name | Kind | Namespace | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Medical Diagnosis Hub | Application | medical-diagnosis-hub | Hub GitOps management |
Red Hat OpenShift GitOps | Operator | openshift-operators | OpenShift GitOps |
Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation | Operator | openshift-storage | Cloud Native storage solution |
Red Hat AMQ Streams | Operator | openshift-operators | AMQ Streams provides Apache Kafka access |
Red Hat OpenShift Serverless | Operator | - knative-serving (knative-eventing) | Provides access to Knative Serving and Eventing functions |
Node Feature Discovery Operator | Operator | openshift-nfd | Manages the detection and labeling of hardware features and configuration (for example Intel AMX) |
The Intel AMX accelerated Medical Diagnosis pattern also includes the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) supporting operator that is installed by OpenShift GitOps using Argo CD.
For information about requirements for additional platforms, see OpenShift Container Platform documentation.
About Intel AMX accelerated Medical Diagnosis pattern OpenShift cluster size
The OpenShift cluster is a standard deployment of 3 control plane nodes and 3 or more worker nodes.
The recommended hardware setup:
| Node type | Number of nodes | CPU | Memory | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Control Planes | 3 | 2x 5th Generation Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y (16 cores at 2.8 GHz base with Intel AMX) or better | 128 GB (8 x 16 GB DDR5 4800) or more | NVME SSD 3TB or more |
Workers | 3 | 2x 5th Generation Intel Xeon Gold 6538Y+ (32 cores at 2.2 GHz base with Intel AMX) or better | 256 GB (16 x 16 GB) or 512 GB (16 x 32GB) DDR5-4800 | NVME SSD 3TB or more |
You might want to add resources when more developers are working on building their applications. |
The pattern was tested in the on-premises environment with following hardware configuration (per cluster):
| Node type | Number of nodes | CPU | Memory | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Control Planes + Workers | 3 + 3 | 2x 5th Generation Intel Xeon Platinum 8568Y+ (48 cores at 2.3 GHz base with Intel AMX) | 512 GB (16x32GB DDR5 5600) | 4x 3.84TB U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 |
