About
YugabyteDB Anywhere (YBA) is a self-managed database-as-a-service for deploying and operating YugabyteDB universes. It supports YSQL and YCQL and can run on on-premises Linux hosts, public clouds including AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, or Kubernetes. Teams can deploy across regions, zones, and cloud providers, with clusters designed to tolerate failures at those levels and at the node level. For disaster recovery, xCluster supports asynchronous replication between two universes. YBA manages scaling, upgrades, configuration changes, OS patching, backups, and point-in-time recovery. Operations are available through a GUI, REST APIs, or Terraform provider; its documentation also lists a CLI and Kubernetes Operator. Security controls include encryption in transit and at rest, LDAP and OIDC authentication, role-based access, and TLS certificate options. It supports internet-connected and air-gapped deployments. An evaluation license is 0.00 USD per free for up to 32 consecutive calendar days; commercial production use requires a license, with pricing on request.
Who it is for
YBA suits teams operating YugabyteDB across self-managed infrastructure, public cloud, or Kubernetes. It is relevant for operators needing multi-environment deployment, database maintenance, and disaster-recovery controls.
