Deploying and configuring PGD on EDB BigAnimal
==============================================

EDB BigAnimal is a fully managed database-as-a-service with built-in
Oracle compatibility. It runs in your cloud account or BigAnimal’s cloud
account, where it’s operated by our Postgres experts. EDB BigAnimal
makes it easy to set up, manage, and scale your databases. The addition
of distributed high-availability support powered by EDB Postgres
Distributed (PGD) enables single- and multi-region Always-on clusters.

This section covers how to work with EDB Postgres Distributed when
deployed on BigAnimal.

-  :ref:`Creating a distributed high-availability cluster </biganimal/latest/getting_started/creating_a_cluster/creating_a_dha_cluster/>`  in the BigAnimal documentation works through the steps
   needed to: - Prepare your cloud environment for a distributed
   high-availability cluster. - Sign in to BigAnimal. - Create a
   distributed high-availability cluster, including: - Creating and
   configuring a data group. - Optionally creating and configuring a
   second data group in a different region.
