PTK Overview

PTK (Provisioning Toolkit) is an installation and operation and maintenance tool for MogDB. It aims at quick installation of MogDB.

If you need to run MogDB or its related components, only one command needs to be run.

Application Scenarios

• Developers need to quickly enable multiple local MogDB processes.
• Users need to install MogDB quickly using PTK.
• Daily operation and maintenance by DBAs
• A third-party operation and maintenance platform needs to be integrated.

Recommended Deployment Architecture

PTK is multi-cluster management software. As a centrally-controlling machine, it manages multiple database clusters remotely using SSH. Therefore, it is recommended that PTK is independently deployed a control server and the database is another server, as shown in the following figure. Certainly, PTK can be also deployed on the local server where the database is located. You can choose either of the deployment methods as required.
