GCP Sizing

When deploying a self-managed deployment of the JFrog Platform on GCP, it is important to consider the hardware and sizing requirements to ensure optimal performance and scalability.

The following guidelines are recommended for sizing your GCP infrastructure.

Artifactory

NOTES:

Each Artifactory replica should run in its own instance (prefer a dedicated node pool)
The Nginx here refers to the instance bundled with Artifactory
- Each Nginx replica should run in its own instance (prefer a dedicated node pool)
If using an ingress controller, you can omit the bundled Nginx, but should determine the appropriate number of ingress controller replicas for your deployment
- If using an ingress controller
  - Set artifactory.ingress.enabled (or artifactory.artifactory.ingress.enabled when using the jfrog-platform chart) to true
  - Set artifactory.nginx.enabled (or artifactory.artifactory.nginx.enabled when using the jfrog-platform chart) to false
Distribution can run on the Artifactory nodes

Xray

NOTES:

Each Xray replica should run in its own instance (prefer a dedicated node pool)
Xray has HPA enabled, so more instances should be available if needed
If running JAS, it’s recommended to use a dedicated node pool for it to protect Xray and Artifactory pods
