 ## Instructions for Initial Deployment
 
-The Kubernetes ecosystem contains many standardized and custom solutions across a [wide range of cloud and on-premises environments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/turnkey-solutions/).  To avoid the complexity of a full-fledged [production environment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/) and to achieve parity with the [existing docker-compose](https://github.com/broadinstitute/seqr/blob/master/docker-compose.yml), we recommend setting up a simple local Kubernetes cluster on an on-premises server or a cloud Virtual Machine with at least `32GB` of memory and `750GB` of disk space.

While there is no requirement for the minimum number of CPUs, having more available will significantly speed up data loading and some searches.
 
 Install the four required kubernetes infrastructure components:
 1. The [`docker`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) container engine.
