Minimum requirements

We recommend different hardware configurations depending on the number of user licenses for {% data variables.product.product_location %}. If you provision more resources than the minimum requirements, your instance will perform and scale better.

{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.hardware-rec-table %}

Storage

We recommend a high-performance SSD with high input/output operations per second (IOPS) and low latency for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. Workloads are I/O intensive. If you use a bare metal hypervisor, we recommend directly attaching the disk or using a disk from a storage area network (SAN).

Your instance requires a persistent data disk separate from the root disk. For more information, see "System overview."

{% if currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.21" %}

To configure{% if currentVersion == "enterprise-server@2.22" %} the beta of{% endif %} {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, you must provide external blob storage. For more information, see "Getting started with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}."

{% endif %}

You can resize your instance's root disk by building a new instance or using an existing instance. For more information, see "[Increasing storage capacity](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/admin/guides/installation/increasing-storage-capacity)."

CPU and memory

The CPU and memory resources that {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} requires depend on the levels of activity for users, automations, and integrations.

{% if currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.21" %}

If you {% if currentVersion == "enterprise-server@2.22" %}enabled the beta of{% else %}plan to enable{% endif %} {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} for the users of your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance, you may need to provision additional CPU and memory resources for your instance. For more information, see "Getting started with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}."

{% warning %}

Warning: We recommend that users configure webhook events to notify external systems of activity on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. Automated checks for changes, or polling, will negatively impact the performance and scalability of your instance. For more information, see "About webhooks."

{% endwarning %}

For more information about monitoring the capacity and performance of {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, see "Monitoring your appliance."

You can increase your instance's CPU or memory resources. For more information, see "Increasing CPU or memory resources."
