Hi,

What is the VM size (vCPU, RAM y Storage) for Proxy or Reverse SSH tunnel scenarios using Confluent Cloud clusters with private networking?

If you expect increased traffic or more complex setups, consider scaling up as performance and resource needs vary with the workload or checking out other options.

And for Proxy or Reverse SSH tunnel scenarios using Confluent Cloud clusters with private networking, the VM size can vary based on your specific needs. Typically, a configuration with 2 vCPUs, 4GB of RAM, and 20GB of storage is sufficient for basic setups. However, if you anticipate higher traffic or more complex configurations, you might want to scale up accordingly. Keep in mind that performance and resource requirements can differ based on the workload.

By the way, if you’re looking into more secure proxy solutions, you might want to check out [LightningProxies](https://lightningproxies.net/). They offer robust services that could be beneficial for your setup.
