Deployment Guide
Complete deployment strategies and best practices for SysManage infrastructure in production environments.
Deployment Overview
SysManage deployment consists of two main components: the management server and distributed agents. This guide covers deployment strategies for various infrastructure sizes and requirements.
🖥️ SysManage Server
Central management server that coordinates agents and provides the web interface
- Centralized configuration and monitoring
- Web-based dashboard and API
- High availability options
- Database and message queue integration
📡 SysManage Agents
Lightweight agents installed on managed hosts for monitoring and control
- Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS)
- Secure mTLS communication
- Automated deployment options
- Minimal resource footprint
Deployment Strategies
Small Environment (1-50 hosts)
- Single server deployment
- SQLite database
- Built-in message queue
- Manual agent installation
Resources: 2 CPU, 4GB RAM, 20GB storage
Medium Environment (50-500 hosts)
- Single server with external database
- PostgreSQL database
- Redis message queue
- Configuration management for agents
Resources: 4 CPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB storage
Large Environment (500+ hosts)
- High availability server cluster
- PostgreSQL cluster
- Redis cluster
- Load balancer
- Automated agent deployment
Resources: 8+ CPU, 16+ GB RAM, 500+ GB storage
Pre-deployment Checklist
Infrastructure Requirements
- Network connectivity between server and agents
- DNS resolution for server hostname
- SSL/TLS certificates for secure communication
- Firewall rules configured
- Database server prepared (if external)
Security Considerations
- Certificate Authority (CA) setup for mTLS
- Agent authentication strategy
- Network segmentation plan
- Backup and recovery procedures
- Monitoring and alerting setup
