System requirements

The following are the minimum software and hardware requirements to run Charmed OpenSearch on VM.

Hardware

Make sure your machine meets the following requirements:

The charm is based on the charmed-opensearch snap. It currently supports the following architectures:

Note: We highly recommend using solid-state drives (SSDs) installed on the host for node storage where possible in order to avoid performance issues in your cluster because of latency or limited throughput.
