No matter which deployment method you choose, we recommend that you use an external database. The external database stores the accumulated data from your scans. The required size depends on the number of scans that you perform and the number of issues found.
The following table indicates the quantity of data that you are likely to accumulate:
| Number of scans | Data storage |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | 500 MB |
| 10,000 | 5 GB |
| 100,000 | 50 GB |
Supported database versions
The following external database versions are fully supported:
| Type | Supported versions |
|---|---|
| MariaDB | 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 |
| Microsoft SQL server | 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 |
| MySQL | 5.7, 8 |
| Oracle | 12.2, 18c, 19c |
| PostgreSQL | 11, 12, 13, 14.2, 15 |
Note
AWS Aurora databases are not supported.
Database hardware requirements
The size of your database instance depends on the number of concurrent scans that you want to run, and the type of database.
For a database instance such as AWS RDS, we recommend a minimum of 2 vCPUs and 8GB RAM, for example a db.t3.large instance.
