Servers
In this article:
As Windows Server 2008 R2 is reaching end of life in 2020, we recommend using a later version for your CloudShell installation.
Quali Server requirements
Requirements | Description |
|---|---|
Software | |
Windows | Any one of the following:
Note: Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2016 support High Availability (HA) solutions. |
Hardware | |
CPU | 4 quad cores |
RAM | A minimum of 8 GB |
Hard Drive | An SSD drive is recommended for the database server |
Network cards | 1/10 GB, according to network load |
CloudShell Portal requirements
Same as Quali Server requirements.
Windows-based Execution Server minimum requirements
This type of execution server is required for executing TestShell tests and automation written in Authoring.
Requirements | Description |
|---|---|
Software | |
Windows | Any one of the following:
|
Hardware | |
CPU | 4 quad cores |
RAM | 2 GB |
Hard Drive | Minimum of 60GB for execution server only. HDD with a page-file capacity of 200 MB |
Note: Execution Server requirements vary according to the required usage. For example, in a scenario where 16 CPU intensive tests are run at any given time, an optimal environment would be a machine with 32 CPU cores, with capacity set to 16, or 2 machines with 16 CPU cores, with capacity set to 8 for each machine. In another scenario where 8 memory intensive tests are run at any given time, an optimal environment would be a machine with 16GB RAM, with capacity set to 8.
Linux-based Execution Server minimum requirements
This type of execution server behaves the same as a Windows execution server. However, Linux execution servers cannot run automation written in CloudShell Authoring but are required to run Ansible configuration management. For additional information, see the CloudShell Execution Server over Linux Virtual Appliance guide.
