System requirements

The Red Hat Edge Manager control plane requires minimum server resources that scale with the number of managed devices.

The following table shows minimum recommended resources for the Red Hat Edge Manager server host based on the number of managed devices. These values were established through benchmarking and represent the resources needed for the server workload, not the managed edge devices themselves.

Note

These figures are an approximate starting baseline, not a guarantee. Actual resource usage depends on polling intervals, fleet template complexity, and observability stack configuration. Validate against your own workload and adjust as needed. Add approximately 3 GB disk for each additional service component (image builder, observability stack).
