Recommendation for ActiveGates for Production Dynatrace SaaS environment

[gargigharat]

Hi Team,

We are using Dynatrace SaaS environment for our POC purpose and want to have the same for Production environment too. Kindly recommend the type for Active Gates to be used for Production setup(Host-based Active Gate or Containerized Active Gate).

And also suggest the limitations of these two types of Active Gates.

Thanks,

Gargi Gharat

As you posted this in the extensions forum I'll answer from an extensions point of view. Containerized ActiveGates are currently not able to run extensions.

There is a config recommendation from Dynatrace (2022)

Ideal: 4 vCores, 8GB RAM, 20GB disk

for Synthetics

8 vCores, 32GB RAM, 50GB disk

In AWS closest config:
- 4 vCores, 16GB RAM, 20GB disk
- 8 vCores, 32GB RAM, 50GB disk
