Installing Hybrid Manager v1.3

Hybrid Manager (HM) provides orchestration, observability, and lifecycle operations for Postgres, analytics, and AI workloads across cloud and on-premises deployments.

This section provides installation guidance for users deploying HM on their own infrastructure, across supported Kubernetes platforms. If you're using a turnkey hardware system like Sovereign AI and Data Factory, Hybrid Manager is preinstalled and requires no setup.

Before you install

HM requires a Kubernetes environment and access to platform-specific APIs for managing storage, networking, and node pools.

You can install HM on:

• RedHat OpenShift clusters
• Rancher RKE2 clusters
• Cloud-managed Kubernetes (EKS, GKE)

Before attempting to install on a specific platform, make sure to:

• Review system resource and storage requirements
• Choose a supported Postgres distribution (Advanced Server, Extended Server, PostgreSQL)
• Define access and RBAC requirements for your organization
