Can we spin up Commvault components on bare metal instances in hyperscalers.

Any documentation link or references would help

Hi @Leena,

Yes you can. Your best resource is checking out the whitepapers we have for the various public clouds:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/33052_virtualization_white_papers.html

But otherwise you can generally treat a bare metal instance like a physical server when it comes to requirements etc.

@Damian Andre  thank you for your quick insight. I did check the guide for aws ..

I was looking for support of Amazon EC2 metal instances for deploying Commserve / Access Nodes .

Are you saying that you are thinking to deploy the CommServe and access nodes on AWS bare metal? If so, can you elaborate on the reasoning?
