System requirements¶

Needs update

These requirements have not been tested against a real deployment. Run docker stats on a running instance and update this section with actual figures before publishing.

Requirements vary by the number of modules enabled. Each additional module adds CPU and memory load proportional to its scan frequency and the size of the cloud account it targets.

Network access¶

The machine running Strawly needs outbound internet access to:

The Strawly container registry — to pull Docker images
Cloud provider APIs (if modules are enabled), e.g. Azure API

Module-specific prerequisites¶
