See [Hardware requirements](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/hardware-requirements) and [Persistent and ephemeral node storage \n](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/persistent-ephemeral-storage) for more information.\n\n- Choose your [deployment platform](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/supported-platforms).\n\n    Redis Software supports a variety of platforms, including:\n\n    - Multiple Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), IBM CentOS, Oracle Linux)\n    - [Amazon AWS AMI](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/configuring-aws-instances)\n    - [Docker container](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/quickstarts/docker-quickstart) (for development and testing only)\n    - [Kubernetes](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes)\n\n    For more details, see [Supported platforms](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/supported-platforms).\n\n- Open appropriate [network ports](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/networking/port-configurations) in the firewall to allow connections to the nodes.\n\n- Configure [cluster DNS](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/networking/cluster-dns) so that cluster nodes can reach each other by DNS names.\n- By default, the installation process requires an internet connection to install dependencies and synchronize the operating system clock. To learn more, see [Offline installation](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/offline-installation).\n\n- [Configure different mount points for data and log directories](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/customize-install-directories#config-diff-data-log-dirs)."
