Deployment over Kubernetes requires an assessment of the data center and its additional existing services. We’ll need Below are the following main services outside of :
Kubernetes
...
MySQL (or Postgres)
S3 StorageObject storage (S3)
DNS zone controller
ELK or EFK (for logging, optional)
Redis (optional)
Prometheus (monitoring, optional)Route53
DNS zone controller
The deployment is performed using Helm Charts or YAML.
Examples of Kubernetes used in previous deployments: OpenShift , MiniCube
Hardware requirements for 1,000 ONVIF cameras
Computing and virtualization - 20 instances with 2 vCPU, 8GB each. It means we need a minimum of 40 threads = 20 cores with 160 GB of memory. It could be, for example, 1 Xeon with 28 cores (56 threads) and 256 GB. The overhead is for running Kubernetes.
Storage – 350 TB object storage. One camera with 1Mbps and 30 days retention is 0.33TB which results in ~ 350 TB. The storage server must support an object storage interface (S3).
Database – 1 core, 8GB. A database server must have an automatic backup.
