System Requirements
The HW requirements for the default Docker images are low and current commodity hardware will be able to run the software nicely. The images should run fine on most container management platforms in multiple instances. If in doubt, use following HW configuration. For production setup we recommend running in two instances at least to achieve High Availability.
Hardware Platforms
Following hardware platforms are supported by PowerAuth Cloud Docker images:
- amd64 (also known as x86_64)
- arm64v8
Hardware Requirements of Basic Docker Images
- CPU 4×core, 2.0GHz
- 6GB free RAM for Docker
- 16GB free disk space
Database Platforms
The PowerAuth Cloud can run without any modifications on PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server databases. The support for Oracle DB is possible but in this case please contact our support at [email protected].
| Database Platform | Minimal Supported Version |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL | 12 |
| MS SQL Server | SQL Server 2019 |
| Oracle DB | 19c |
The PowerAuth Cloud can be operated on earlier versions of the DB platforms, but the versions above (and newer) are tested and supported. In general we aim to align our support with support of database vendors.
Hardware Requirements of Database platform
For model case of installation with 500 000 users using Mobile token we recommend:
- CPU 8×core, 2.0GHz
- 32GB minimum RAM
- 60GB free disk space (estimated size after year of operation)
- 5GB database size yearly increment

PowerAuth Cloud uses PostgreSQL database as the primary datastore type. While it is possible to configure the images to use other database engine as well (Oracle, MySQL, etc.), we recommend PostgreSQL as the stable, performant and open choice.
