Managed NATS Service
NATS is an open-source, simple, secure, and high performance messaging system. It provides a data layer for cloud native applications, IoT messaging, and microservices architectures.
Parameters
Common parameters
| Name | Description | Type | Value |

Application-specific parameters
| Name | Description | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|---|

users[name].password | Password for the user. | string | "" |
jetstream | Jetstream configuration. | object | {} |
jetstream.enabled | Enable or disable Jetstream for persistent messaging in NATS. | bool | true |
jetstream.size | Jetstream persistent storage size. | quantity | 10Gi |

Parameter examples and reference
resources and resourcesPreset
resources sets explicit CPU and memory configurations for each replica.
When left empty, the preset defined in resourcesPreset is applied.
resources:
cpu: 4000m
memory: 4Gi
resourcesPreset sets named CPU and memory configurations for each replica.
This setting is ignored if the corresponding resources value is set.
Presets follow a cloud-style <series>.<size> naming convention. Five series cover the full CPU-to-memory ratio range (t1 1:0.5, c1 1:1, s1 1:2, u1 1:4, m1 1:8) and each series ships eight sizes (nano through 4xlarge). The legacy flat names (nano, micro, small, medium, large, xlarge, 2xlarge) remain accepted as deprecated aliases of their 1:1 instance-type equivalents.
See
docs/operations/resource-presets.md for the full size matrix and the legacy-to-instance-type mapping.
