API Gateway License limitations

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

Are there any license or technical limitations related to the servers hosting the API Gateway?

In case we needed to improve the performance, what is the maximum number of CPUs and RAM size we can utilize for a software based gateway running on a virtualized RedHat environment?

Environment

API GATEWAY

Resolution

One Gateway license is valid for a max of 8 CPU's or vCPU ,  if you need more cpus, then you need another license.

Additional Information

• Do not need another license installed on the gateway.
• There are no memory limits set per license. It is only limited to max vcpu usages.
• The license it depends on customer's  contract, the contract will say how many "instances" are allowed, the "instance" is dependent on form factor 

“Instance” means: 

1. The software form factor: a CPU.
2. The hardware appliance form: a Hardware Appliance.
3. The virtual appliance form: a Virtual Appliance. (The number of Virtual Appliances is determined by counting all of the vCPUs used to execute the CA Software in the virtual server environment, dividing the number of vCPUs by eight (8), and rounding up to the next whole number.)
4. The Amazon Machine Image (“AMI”) form: an AMI Instance. (same as virtual appliance, dividing the number of vCPUs by eight (8))
5. The Azure Virtual Machine (“VM”) form: an Azure Instance. (same as virtual appliance, dividing the number of vCPUs by eight (8))
6. The Docker container form: a Docker Container. (The number of Docker Containers is determined by counting the number of cores assigned to the Docker container in the Docker host environment, dividing the number of cores assigned to the Docker container in the Docker host environment by eight (8), and rounding up to the next whole number.)
