# Deployment architectures

To simplify your deployments, Ping Identity provides a deployer script to install Ping Autonomous Identity on a target node. The deployer pulls in images from the Ping Identity Google Cloud Repository and uses it to deploy the microservices and analytics for Ping Autonomous Identity on a target machine. The target machine only requires the base operating system.

|   | If you are upgrading Ping Autonomous Identity on a RHEL 7/CentOS 7, the upgrade to 2022.11 uses RHEL 7/CentOS 7 only. For new and clean installations, Ping Autonomous Identity requires RHEL 8 or CentOS Stream 8 only. |

Autonomous Identity 2022.11.0 introduced a new deployer, Deployer Pro, that pulls in the base code from the Ping Identity Google Cloud repository. Customers must now pre-install the third-party software dependencies prior to running deployer pro. For more information, refer to [Install a single node deployment](chap-install-singlenode-target.html).

There are four basic deployments, all of them similar, but in slightly different configurations:

* **Single-Node Target Deployment**. Deploy Ping Autonomous Identity on a single Internet-connected target machine. The deployer script lets you deploy the system from a local laptop or machine or from the target machine itself. The target machine can be on on-prem or on a cloud service, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or others. For installation instructions, refer to [Install a Single-Node Deployment](chap-install-singlenode-target.html).

* **Single-Node Air-Gapped Target Deployment**. Deploy Ping Autonomous Identity on a single-node target machine that resides in an air-gapped deployment. In an air-gapped deployment, the target machine is placed in an enhanced security environment where external Internet access is not available. You transfer the deployer and image to the target machine using media, such as a portable drive. Then, run the deployment within the air-gapped environment. For installation instruction, refer to [Install a Single-Node Air-Gapped](chap-install-singlenode-airgap.html).

* **Multi-Node Deployment**. Deploy Ping Autonomous Identity on multi-node deployment to distribute the process load on the servers. For installation instruction, refer to [Install a Multi-Node Deployment](chap-install-multinode.html).

* **Multi-Node Air-Gapped Deployment**. Deploy Ping Autonomous Identity a multi-node configuration in an air-gapped network. The multinode network has no external Internet connection. For installation instruction, refer to [Install a Multi-Node Air-Gapped Deployment](chap-install-multinode-airgap.html).
