This section covers the generic manual deployment of a YugabyteDB cluster in a single region or data center with a multi-zone/multi-rack configuration. Note that single zone configuration is a special case of multi-zone where all placement related flags are set to the same value across every node.

For AWS deployments specifically, a step-by-step guide to deploying a YugabyteDB cluster is also available. These steps can be adopted for on-premises deployments or deployments in other clouds.
