Appliance requirements for bridged connections
A hardware or virtual appliance may be deployed. If you meet minimum requirements outlined below, virtual appliances are preferred, as hardware deployments require additional time and physical (rack) space.
Hardware: 2vCPU, 4GBRAM, 32GB Storage (supports 250Mbps of throughput)
Hypervisor/Virtualization: VMware vSphere5.5 (or greater), Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform
Configuration
Trustgrid appliances are stateless network devices. They require specific vSphere configuration settings to maximize uptime:
Set the DRS level for a VM to either PartiallyAutomated or Disabled
Create an anti‐affinity rule
Do not backup Trustgrid virtual appliances
Deploy Trustgrid secondary high-availability appliances on separate physical hosts
Note
High availability deployments require two instances to be deployed and running.
