Installing Hybrid Manager

Hybrid Manager (HM) provides orchestration, observability, and lifecycle operations for Postgres, analytics, and AI workloads across cloud and on-premises deployments.

This section provides installation guidance for users deploying HM on their own infrastructure, across supported Kubernetes platforms. If you’re using a turnkey hardware system like Sovereign Data and AI Factory (Hardware Appliance) , Hybrid Manager is preinstalled and requires no setup.

Before you install

HM requires a Kubernetes environment and access to platform-specific APIs for managing storage, networking, and node pools.

You can install HM on:

• RedHat OpenShift clusters

• Rancher RKE2 clusters

• Cloud-managed Kubernetes (EKS, GKE)

Before attempting to install on a specific platform, make sure to:

• Review system resource and storage requirements

• Define access and RBAC requirements for your organization

Installation guides by platform

Choose your target platform to follow the appropriate installation procedure.

RedHat OpenShift (RHOS)

HM is certified for deployment on OpenShift clusters - both on-premises or in Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA).

• Install HM on RHOS
