About PTK

PTK (Provisioning Toolkit) is a command-line operation and maintenance tool developed for MogDB database using Golang, which is designed to help users deploy and manage MogDB database clusters more conveniently.

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 a centralized multi-cluster management software. As a centrally-controlling software, 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.

(Note: PTK relies on local metadata for cluster management, and PTKs installed by users on different operating systems are not visible to each other).

Operating Systems Supported by PTK for Installing MogDB

You can run ptk candidate os to check the latest OSs supported.

(Note: The operating systems listed in the table below are the databases where PTK tests were able to deploy MogDB successfully and regular CRUD operations run normally. Unless the table states that it has been fully tested for compatibility, please perform your own full business validation before production deployment).
