Provisioning on-premises nodes

How to meet the software prerequisites with automatic provisioning

When YBA has access to an SSH user with passwordless sudo privileges (for example, the ec2-user on AWS EC2 instances), then YBA can provision the VMs automatically.

With Internet or Yum connectivity

If your VM has Internet or Yum connectivity, you must provide to YBA a VM with the following pre-installed:

  • Supported Linux OS with an SSH-enabled, root-privileged user. YBA uses this user to automatically perform additional Linux configuration, such as creating the yugabyte user, updating the file descriptor settings via ulimits, and so on.
  • Additional software

Take the time now to prepare the VM.

  • Save the SSH-enabled, root-privileged user credentials (username and SSH Private Key Content PEM file).
  • Save the VM IP addresses for later when creating the on-premises provider.

No Internet nor Yum connectivity

If your VM doesn't have Internet or Yum connectivity, you must provide to YBA a VM with the following pre-installed:

  • Save the SSH-enabled, root-privileged user credentials (username and SSH Private Key Content PEM file).
  • Save the VM IP or DNS addresses for later when creating the on-premises provider.
