dSSM Resources Management for Policy Enforcer DeploymentsΒΆ

For Policy Enforcer (PE) deployments with high subscriber counts (for example, 7 million subscribers), allocate the following resources:

  • Sentinel mode (non-sharding)

Resource Value
CPU (limits and requests per DB pod) 8
Memory (limits and requests per DB pod) 45 GB
  • Cluster mode (sharding)

Resource Value
CPU (requests per DB pod) 4
Memory (requests per DB pod) 15 GB

For both deployment modes, configure the SESSIONDB_EXTERNAL_CONN_SNDBUF environment parameter to 1048576 (1 MB) in the f5-tmm deployment:

f5-tmm:
  tmm:
    customEnvVars:
      - name: SESSIONDB_EXTERNAL_CONN_SNDBUF
        value: "1048576"
