Deploy Manually

• Deploy for Production

  You can use rpk to set up a production cluster of Redpanda using the default deployment or by writing a custom deployment script.

• Automate Deployment for Production

  You can use automation tools in your environment, such as Terraform and Ansible to deploy Redpanda for production.

• Configure Node Properties

  When you install Redpanda, a redpanda.yaml file is installed on each node in /etc/redpanda. This file contains node configuration properties. A node property is one that can be set differently from node to node, such as data_directory or node_id (when specified).

• High Availability

  Redpanda is designed to ensure data integrity and high availability (HA), even at high-throughput levels. This section explains the trade-offs with different configurations.

• Sizing Use Cases

  The following scenarios provide estimates and advice for sizing Redpanda clusters for different throughput and retention use cases in your data center and in the cloud.

• Sizing Guidelines

  For best performance, size your Redpanda cluster to handle the volume of data being produced, replicated, and consumed.
