Prerequisites to deploy YugabyteDB on a VM

Prepare VMs for database nodes

YugabyteDB is designed to run on bare-metal machines, virtual machines (VMs), and cloud provider instances.

The nodes that YugabyteDB Anywhere deploys for use in a YugabyteDB database cluster need to be provisioned for use with YugabyteDB, including the following:

  • Compatible Linux OS.
  • Other secondary agents, including the node agent, YB-Controller backup agent, and Prometheus Node Exporter for host metrics export.
  • Additional software and packages, such as Python.
