Deploying and configuring PGD on EDB BigAnimal v5

EDB BigAnimal is a fully managed database-as-a-service with built-in Oracle compatibility. It runs in your cloud account or BigAnimal's cloud account, where it's operated by our Postgres experts. EDB BigAnimal makes it easy to set up, manage, and scale your databases. The addition of distributed high-availability support powered by EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) enables single- and multi-region Always-on clusters.

This section covers how to work with EDB Postgres Distributed when deployed on BigAnimal.

• Creating a distributed high-availability cluster in the BigAnimal documentation works through the steps needed to:
  • Prepare your cloud environment for a distributed high-availability cluster.
  • Sign in to BigAnimal.
  • Create a distributed high-availability cluster, including:
    • Creating and configuring a data group.
    • Optionally creating and configuring a second data group in a different region.
