Prerequisites for Web Services and Applications

To work with Web Services and Applications, your system must meet the software requirements established in the Genesys Supported Operating Environment Reference, and meet the minimum requirements outline on this page.

Hardware requirements

JM: I just copied these values from another product to use as a starting point.

• OS: CentOS 7 (64 Bit) or RHEL 7 (64 Bit)
• RAM: 16Gb
• CPU: 4 cores minimum
• Disk space: 20Gb free space minimum required, 50Gb recommended

Install Docker

Web Services and Applications is installed using Docker containers. A Docker deployment provides a complete self-contained environment, so that you do not need to manually configure ports or address compatibility issues. All of that is taken care of ahead of time, and the completed Docker containers work together seamlessly upon deployment.

Refer to the Docker documentation for more information about how to install and set up the latest release of Docker. Later, you'll use Bintray to [InstallingAndDeploying[|pull the Web Services and Applications Docker image]].

Install Kubernetes

You'll also need to install the latest release of Kubernetes, which is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized Docker applications. It's sometimes called a container orchestration system.

The exact installation procedure for Kubernetes varies significantly depending on numerous factors, including the type of machines in your environment (these could be real machines, virtual machines, or cloud machines), operating system, networking model, planned load, and Kubernetes version. For information about the steps you must follow to install Kubernetes in your environment, see the Kubernetes installation documentation.
