Requirements

This page describes the baseline requirements for running the STREAM Connect Agent.

Runtime Model

The STREAM Connect Agent will run as a Docker container. The target deployment environment is intentionally kept lightweight and should not require extensive manual setup.

For most use cases, a small host or virtual machine should be sufficient.

  • CPU: 2 vCPUs or 2 physical cores
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM is sufficient, 8 GB RAM is recommended
  • Disk space: 20 GB of available disk space (for the OS, container images, and agent data)

These figures are intentionally conservative and should provide more than enough headroom for typical agent workloads.

Software Prerequisites

  • Docker runtime: Docker Engine 24.0 or later, or a compatible container runtime capable of running OCI containers
  • Operating system: Debian 12 (Bookworm) or later

Network Requirements

  • Outbound connectivity: The agent requires outbound HTTPS access (port 443) to STREAM Cloud
  • No inbound ports required: No inbound port exposure is required for operation
  • Stable internet connection: The agent can tolerate short interruptions, but a generally stable connection is recommended
