Requirements

The following are the technical requirements for running turbopuffer in your cloud via BYOC.

Instance Types

The following are the instance types that turbopuffer uses by default. While CPU counts can be adjusted within these families, the specific instance type families listed below are required for optimal performance and compatibility.

AWS

  • m7gd.{32,48}xlarge
  • m8gd.{32,48}xlarge
  • i8g.{32,48}xlarge
  • i7i.{32,48}xlarge
  • i8ge.{32,64}xlarge
  • i7ie.{24,48}xlarge

GCP

  • c4a-highmem-{32,48,64}-lssd
  • c4a-standard-{32,48}-lssd
  • c4-standard-{32,48}-lssd
  • c4-highmem-{32,48}-lssd
  • c3-standard-{44,88}-lssd

Azure

  • Standard_L{32,48}as_v4
  • Standard_L{32,48}s_v4
  • Standard_L{32,48}s_v3
  • Standard_L{32,48}as_v3
  • Standard_D{32,48}pds_v6
  • Standard_D{32,48}plds_v6
  • Standard_D{32,48}ds_v6
  • Standard_D{32,48}lds_v6

Dedicated Kubernetes Cluster

To guarantee the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for your turbopuffer cluster, the turbopuffer cluster must run on its own dedicated Kubernetes cluster, isolated to prevent resource contention and ensure predictable performance. This Kubernetes cluster must reside within its own isolated member account in AWS, or its own isolated project in GCP.
