Distribution support v23
TPA detects and adapts to the distribution running on each target instance. Listed here are the platforms that are actively supported and legacy distributions that were previously supported.
Deploying to a legacy platform is likely to work as long as you have access to the necessary packages. However, this isn't a supported use of TPA and isn't suitable for production use.
Fully supported platforms are supported both as host systems for running TPA and target systems on which TPA deploys the Postgres cluster.
