Overview

This guide contains the maximum verified scalability limits for Cisco Cloud Network Controller, Release 26.0(1):

These values are based on a profile where each feature was scaled to the numbers specified in the tables. These numbers do not represent the theoretically possible Cisco Cloud ACI scale.


Note

Scalability Limits

This section contains scalability numbers for Cisco ACI cloud deployments. The scalability limits differ based on whether it's a single cloud site or a multi-cloud deployment.

Multi-Cloud Deployments

This section contains scalability numbers for multi-cloud deployments. The same scale numbers apply to each cloud site (AWS or Azure) with intersite connectivity provided by the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator. Total number of stretched and non-stretched objects must not exceed the maximum verified scalability limit for that object.
