Deploying PGD using TPA v5
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),
Get started with TPA and PGD quickly
If you want to experiment with a local deployment as quickly as possible, you can deploy an EDB Postgres Distributed example cluster on Docker to configure, provision, and deploy a PGD 5 Always-On cluster on Docker.
If deploying to the cloud is your aim, you can deploy an EDB Postgres Distributed example cluster on AWS to get a PGD 5 cluster on your own Amazon account.
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: Use TPA to create a configuration for your PGD cluster.
2: Provision, Deploy and Test your PGD cluster.
