Storage

StorageClass

A default StorageClass supporting ReadWriteOnce must exist. Dynamic provisioning is required - shaide creates PVCs during installation.

Target Typical class
EKS gp3 (EBS CSI driver)
GKE standard-rwo (PD CSI driver)
AKS managed-csi (Azure Disk CSI)
RKE2 hostpath

Capacity

200 GB minimum, but dependent on model size.
Model weights dominate - a single 30B model can exceed 60 GB on disk.

Consumer Typical
Internal registry (images + model weights) 100 GB+
Application state 10 GB
Observability data 50 GB, retention-dependent

Budget additional capacity per model you intend to serve.

Provisioning machine

The host running the installer needs 100 GB of free local disk for the model cache and installer state, in a directory preserved across installer runs and upgrades.
