Containerized environments

OpenText™ Analytics Database supports containerized environments that conform to the performance requirements for vioperf, vnetperf, and vcpuperf.

As the database extends support and deployment in containerized environments including Kubernetes, we cannot test and certify all possible configurations. However, OpenText makes an effort to ensure the success of its customers on recent versions of supported operating systems for the x86_64 architecture.

OpenText™ Analytics Database tests containers running on Docker. When the underlying hardware, OS, and container are configured correctly, the database system performs well. In some circumstances, there is a minor performance difference for queries made against a cold- or partially-populated depot when accessing communal storage.

OpenText™ Analytics Database support contract covers database products only. If you choose to run the database on a container configuration and experience an issue that might not be caused by database products, the OpenText™ Analytics Database Support team might ask you to reproduce the issue in a different environment or engage with the support resources for your containerization technology.

For guidelines on how to provision and size your Kubernetes resources for OpenText™ Analytics Database deployments, see Recommendations for Sizing Vertica Nodes and Clusters in the Knowledge Base.
