Managed Qdrant Service
Qdrant is a high-performance vector database and similarity search engine designed for AI and machine learning applications. It provides efficient storage and retrieval of high-dimensional vectors with advanced filtering capabilities, making it ideal for recommendation systems, semantic search, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications.
Deployment Details
Service deploys Qdrant as a StatefulSet with automatic cluster mode when multiple replicas are configured.
Parameters
Common parameters
| Name | Description | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
replicas | Number of Qdrant replicas. Cluster mode is automatically enabled when replicas > 1. | int | 1 |
resources | Explicit CPU and memory configuration for each Qdrant replica. When omitted, the preset defined in resourcesPreset is applied. | object | {} |
resources.cpu | CPU available to each replica. | quantity | "" |
resources.memory | Memory (RAM) available to each replica. | quantity | "" |
resourcesPreset | Default sizing preset used when resources is omitted. | string | t1.small |
size | Persistent Volume Claim size available for vector data storage. | quantity | 10Gi |
storageClass | StorageClass used to store the data. | string | "" |
external | Enable external access from outside the cluster. | bool | false |
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.
