This section describes the basic requirements for setting up a non-production cluster on Anthos GKE (previously known as GKE On-Prem).

A non-production configuration typically includes fewer nodes, consumes fewer resources, and runs in fewer zones or regions than a production cluster. Non-production clusters are commonly used for demonstration and development purposes.

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.

Non-production cluster requirements

Use these requirements as a guide when creating your non-production cluster.

Software requirements

Requirement	Value
Anthos version	Version 1.2
kubectl version	Version 1.14.x or later. See Install and Set Up kubectl.

Node requirements

You must configure and label two types of nodes in your cluster -- one for the stateful Cassandra pods and one for the rest of the pods, which are stateless. Configure these node types as described below:

Stateful node configuration

Requirement	Value
Minimum number of nodes	3
Node specifications	8 CPU (Minimum) 16 GB Ram (Minimum)
Kubernetes label	Name: apigee.com/apigee-nodepool Value: apigee-data See How to label the worker nodes.
Storage	Dynamically provisioned.

Stateless node configuration

Requirement	Value
Minimum number of nodes	3
Node specifications	8 CPU (Minimum) 16 GB Ram (Minimum)
Kubernetes label	Name: apigee.com/apigee-nodepool Value: apigee-runtime See How to label the worker nodes.
Storage	Dynamically provisioned.
