Deployment
Production deployments require Architecture Planning and Preparation beyond the Getting Started procedure. This chapter describes the complete deployment process and recommended practices for production.
Before production deployment, test the workflow in the Pigsty Sandbox. Use Vagrant to create a local 4-node sandbox. Use OpenTofu to create a larger simulation environment in the cloud.
Production high availability typically requires at least three nodes. Review the core Concepts and common administration procedures before deployment. These procedures include Configuration, Ansible Playbooks, and Security Hardening for enterprise compliance.
