Before installing Portworx Enterprise, make sure your environment meets the following requirements:

• Image type: Only GKE clusters provisioned on Ubuntu Node Images support Portworx. You must specify the Ubuntu node image when you create clusters.

• Resource requirements: Portworx requires that each node in the Kubernetes cluster has at least 4 CPUs and 4 GB memory for Portworx. It is important to keep this in mind when selecting the machine types during cluster creation.

• Permissions: Portworx requires access to the Google Cloud APIs to provision & manage disks. Make sure the user/service account creating the GKE cluster has the following roles:

  • Compute Admin
  • Service Account User
  • Kubernetes Engine Cluster Viewer
