Using this guide

This guide describes installing EGO on a single Windows computer to function as a master host, management host, and compute host in a single-host cluster.

You can set up a single-host cluster by following the steps in Install a Single-Host Cluster.

After you have finished testing or demonstrating your single-host cluster, you can also convert your host to the master host of a production cluster by following the steps in Migrate to a Multiple-Host Cluster.

When considering the possibility of converting your single-host cluster to the master host of a production cluster, check the specifications of your Windows computer against the following suggested requirements for a large production cluster:

  • For a management host (which includes the master host), we suggest at least a 1- or 2-CPU (>2.0GHz) computer with 4GB RAM, 30GB storage.
