!!! info
A single storage plane cluster can be set up from both x86-64 and ARM64 CPUs. However, simplyblock recommends to
build a storage plane from a single CPU architecture. When operating a hybrid storage cluster with Kubernetes
a mixed CPU architecture should be limited to one CPU architecture for the disaggregated portion of the storage
cluster and one architecture for the Kubernetes worker nodes.
build a storage plane from a single CPU architecture. This is especially important to consider when running
hyper-converged or in a hybrid setup.

In terms of operating system, simplyblock supports Red Hat-based Linux distribution and recommends a Linux kernel 5.9
or later.
In terms of operating system, simplyblock requires a Red Hat-based Linux distribution version 9 (including Rocky Linux and Alma Linux)
for the control plane nodes and disaggregated storage nodes (docker-swarm) and recommends a Linux kernel 5.9 or later.

For storage nodes running in Kubernetes, any Linux distribution (RHEL-based, Debian-based, Talos) can be used. For more
information, see the supported [Linux Distributions Matrix](../../reference/supported-linux-distributions.md).

For any client host, the `nvmf-tcp` module must be loaded and support [NVMe Multipathing](https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/nvme-multipath.html){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
