# Distributed Postgres

Distributed Postgres clusters in YugabyteDB Aeon for production workloads.

Distributed PostgreSQL, fully managed by Yugabyte

Distributed Postgres is a fully managed YugabyteDB service in YugabyteDB Aeon. Clusters run on multiple nodes, and can span availability zones and regions on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Use it for production workloads that need high availability, horizontal scale, and geo-distribution.

A Distributed Postgres cluster includes the following:

- Fault tolerance across nodes, availability zones, or regions.
- Single-region and multi-region topologies, including geo-partitioning and read replicas.
- Horizontal and vertical scaling, including autoscaling.
- Private networking with VPC peering or a private link.
- Backups, point-in-time recovery, and maintenance windows.

Clusters are billed per vCPU. [Request a free trial](/stable/yugabyte-cloud/managed-freetrial/ "Request a free trial") to create clusters with trial credits.
