Deployment

Unlike Getting Started, production Pigsty deployments require more Architecture Planning and Preparation.

This chapter helps you understand the complete deployment process and provides best practices for production environments.

Before deploying to production, we recommend testing in Pigsty’s Sandbox to fully understand the workflow. Use Vagrant to create a local 4-node sandbox, or leverage Terraform to provision larger simulation environments in the cloud.

For production, you typically need at least three nodes for high availability. You should understand Pigsty’s core Concepts and common administration procedures, including Configuration, Ansible Playbooks, and Security Hardening for enterprise compliance.
