Introduction

When creating an environment in Mendix Private Cloud, changing request values for core resources below 0.1 CPU is not possible.

Environment

Mendix Private Cloud

Explanation:

An environment must be created when deploying an app for the first time in Mendix Private Cloud. It is possible to configure the resources allocated to the environment during this process, such as CPU and memory. In steps 7 and 8 of the Change Resources page, it is possible to choose between two options:
1. Pre-Defined Resource Sets (Small, Medium, Large):

• Select from predefined resource sets on the Change Resources page: Small, Medium, and Large. 
• Each option automatically sets the CPU and Memory values for the environment.

Note: The Request Value represents the amount of CPU that the environment initially requests, while the Limit Value is the maximum amount of CPU that the environment can use.

2. Custom Resource Configuration:
To customize the configuration of the resources, select the Custom option from the dropdown and specify the CPU and Memory values.

 

Important: When selecting custom values, ensure that they are the same as or greater than the values for a Small environment. 
It is not possible to set the CPU Request Value lower than 0.1 CPU. This minimum requirement ensures the smooth running of the application.

Why is there a 0.1 CPU Minimum Requirement? 

• Previously, it was possible to allocate fewer resources, including CPU values below 0.1. However, this often resulted in performance issues where applications struggled to run properly.
• A minimum CPU limit of 0.1 has been put in place to avoid such problems and to ensure that the Mendix app runs reliably. 
• The system will not allow to set a CPU request value below 0.1, as this threshold is critical to maintaining a stable and functional environment.
