The architectures were built and tested with the [Intel Xeon E5 v3 (Haswell)](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/cpu-platforms)
CPU platform on GCP. On different hardware you may find that adjustments, either lower
or higher, are required for your CPU or Node counts accordingly. For more information, a
[Sysbench](https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench) benchmark of the CPU can be found
[here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/performance/-/wikis/Reference-Architectures/GCP-CPU-Benchmarks).
For data objects such as LFS, Uploads, Artifacts, etc., an [object storage service](#configure-the-object-storage)
is recommended over NFS where possible, due to better performance and availability.
Since this doesn't require a node to be set up, it's marked as not applicable (n/a)
in the table above.
