The following diagram shows the high-level logical architecture of the Anthos cluster that is deployed on a PowerFlex cluster in the HCI deployment model. The following diagram shows the minimum recommended configuration of four nodes with both the SDC and SDS components installed on all four nodes, therefore sharing the compute and storage for workloads. The configuration can be scaled based on specific customer needs. This architecture is best suited for small footprint environments and for environments where the compute and storage capacity requirements are expected to grow linearly.
