Software requirements for on-premises nodes
Prepare a VM for deploying universes on-premises
When deploying database clusters using an on-premises provider, YugabyteDB Anywhere relies on you to manually create the VMs and provide these pre-created VMs to YugabyteDB Anywhere.
With the on-premises provider, you must provide one, three, five, or more VM(s) with the following installed:
- Supported Linux OS
- Additional software
- If you are not connected to the Internet, additional software for airgapped
How to provision the nodes for use in a database cluster
After you have created the VMs, they must be provisioned with YugabyteDB and related software before they can be deployed in a universe.
How you provision nodes for use with an on-premises provider depends on the SSH access that you can grant YBA to provision nodes.
