-Start {{kib}} on **2.1 vCPU** and **2GB** of memory. This should comfortably serve a set of 10 concurrent users performing analytics activities like browsing dashboards. If you are experiencing performance issues, adding an additional **2.1 vCPUs** and **2GB** per 10 concurrent users is a safe _minimum_ ensure {{kib}} is not resource-starved for common analytics use cases. This is known as **vertical scaling** and should typically be employed up to a maximum of **8.4 vCPU** and **8GB** of memory. In combination, it is recommended to employ **horizontal scaling** as outlined in the guide on [load balancing traffic](./kibana-load-balance-traffic.md).
