Version: File Inspection Engine 1.5.2

Deployment

Hardware Requirements​

To handle files of up to 2 GB, we recommend the following:

  • Memory (RAM):
    • Provision at least 32 GB of RAM. File processing may require up to 8 times the file size in RAM, especially to accommodate large file handling and concurrent requests.
  • Disk Size:
    • Allocate at least 100 GB of disk space to support scanning of larger files and threat intelligence database storage requirements.

Production Deployment​

For production environments, it is recommended to deploy the File Inspection Engine with different resource configurations based on the file sizes being processed:

  1. Regular File Processing:
    • Deploy FIE in one Kubernetes namespace, using resource settings (CPU/RAM) optimized for smaller, regular file sizes.
  2. Large File Processing:
    • Deploy FIE in a separate Kubernetes namespace, with resource settings (CPU/RAM) optimized for handling larger files.

This approach allows for more efficient resource allocation and scaling, based on specific file processing requirements.
