Deploying PGD using TPA

The standard way of automatically deploying EDB Postgres Distributed in a self-managed setting is to use EDB’s deployment tool: Trusted Postgres Architect (TPA). This applies to physical and virtual machines, both self-hosted and in the cloud (EC2),

If you want to run on your own Linux systems or VMs, you can also use TPA to deploy EDB Postgres Distributed directly to your own Linux hosts .

Prerequisite: Install TPA

Before you can use TPA to deploy PGD, you must install TPA. Follow the installation instructions in the Trusted Postgres Architect documentation before continuing.

At the highest level, using TPA to deploy PGD involves the following steps:

1: Configuring a PGD cluster with TPA for your PGD cluster.

2: Provisioning, deploying, and testing your PGD cluster.
