This section describes the basic requirements for setting up an Anthos GKE cluster (previously known as GKE On-Prem) suitable for a production environment.
Creating the cluster
For information about creating Anthos GKE clusters, see Creating admin and user clusters in the Anthos GKE on-prem 1.5 documentation.
Production cluster requirements
Use these requirements as a guide when creating your production cluster.
Software versions
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Anthos GKE version | Version 1.1.1-gke.2 or later |
| kubectl version | Version 1.13.x or later. See Install and Set Up kubectl. |

|---|---|
| Minimum number of nodes | 6 |
| Node specifications |
8 CPU (Minimum) 16 GB Ram (Minimum) |
Kubernetes label | Name: apigee.com/apigee-nodepoolValue: apigee-data
|
| Storage | Dynamically provisioned. |
Stateless node configuration
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum number of nodes | 3 |
| Node specification |
8 CPU (Minimum) 16 GB Ram (Minimum) |
| Kubernetes label | Name: apigee.com/apigee-nodepoolValue: apigee-runtime
