System requirements for the external database (Kubernetes)

• Last updated: April 8, 2025

• Read time: 1 Minute

For Kubernetes, you need to set up an external database. The external database stores the accumulated data from your scans. The required size depends on the number of scans that you perform and the number of issues found.

The following table indicates the quantity of data that you are likely to accumulate:

Number of scans	Data storage
1,000	500 MB
10,000	5 GB
100,000	50 GB

Supported database versions

We support the following external databases. We expect newer versions from these vendors to be supported, but these are the latest that we have actively tested.

We try to support older versions as long as they are supported by the vendor.

Type	Latest version tested
MariaDB	11.2.3
Microsoft SQL server	2022 (16.0.1000.6)
MySQL	8.3.0
Oracle	23c (23.0.0.0.0)
PostgreSQL	17.2

Database hardware requirements

The size of your database instance depends on the number of concurrent scans that you want to run, and the type of database.

For a database instance such as AWS RDS, we recommend a minimum of 2 vCPUs and 8GB RAM, for example a db.t3.large instance.
