Using YugabyteDB Anywhere (YBA), you can deploy YugabyteDB universes on nodes with the following architectures and operating systems.

-> For information on prerequisites for the node running YBA, refer to Prerequisites for YBA.

Supported operating systems and CPU architectures

YBA supports deploying YugabyteDB on both x86 and ARM (aarch64) architecture-based hardware.

YBA supports deploying YugabyteDB on a variety of operating systems. AlmaLinux OS 8 is used by default.

Requirements for all OSes

Verify that Python 3.5-3.8 is installed. v3.6 is recommended.

In case there is more than one Python 3 version installed, ensure that python3 refers to the right one. For example:

sudo alternatives --set python3 /usr/bin/python3.6
sudo alternatives --display python3
python3 -V

If you are using Python later than v3.6, install the selinux package corresponding to your version of python. For example, using pip, you can install as follows:

python3 -m pip install selinux

Refer to Ansible playbook fails with libselinux-python aren't installed on RHEL8 for more information.

If you are using Python later than v3.7, set the Max Python Version (exclusive) Global Configuration option to the python version. Refer to Manage runtime configuration settings. Note that only a Super Admin user can modify Global configuration settings.

For more information on additional requirements for nodes for use in on-premises provider configurations, refer to Manually provision on-premises nodes.

Oracle Linux and AlmaLinux notes

YBA support for Oracle Linux 8 and AlmaLinux OS 8 has the following limitations:

• Oracle Linux 8 uses the firewall-cmd client to set default target ACCEPT.
• On Oracle Linux 8, only the Red Hat Linux-compatible kernel is supported, to allow port changing. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) is not supported.
• Systemd services are only supported in YBA 2.15.1 and later versions.
