Hi Danishka.  The StarlingX project documents hardware requirements in the installation guides.  For instance this doc [1] describes the min hardware requirements for the Standard with Dedicated Storage configuration.

 

Most testing of StarlingX occurs outside of community resources.  My company has a test lab consisting of a range of systems that we use for testing.  In general the software supports the amd64 architecture and I would recommend Xeon-D series processors or the equivalent as a minimum for controller and worker nodes.

 

Is there such minimum spec for NICs to achieve better performance (low latency/less packet loss)?

It’s really your budget and your workload requirements that determine how much capacity you need.  You can see this link [2] for more info on planning a deployment.

Hi,

 

Is there a recommended hardware list or a list of tested (by community) hardware?
