Boundary
Deploy Boundary in a self-managed environment
To deploy a self-managed Boundary environment you should:
- Install the Boundary binary
- Deploy and configure Boundary controllers and workers
- Install end-user clients
This guide outlines the required steps to manually install and configure a single self-managed HashiCorp Boundary cluster as defined in the Recommended architecture topic. It assumes you install Boundary on virtual machines (VMs) or bare-metal servers running a Debian or Red Hat-based Linux distribution.
To deploy HCP Boundary instead, refer to the Deploy and log in in the HCP Boundary Get started documentation.
This document includes general guidance as well as specific recommendations for popular cloud infrastructure platforms. These recommendations have also been encoded into official Terraform reference architectures for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
