See [Hardware requirements]() and [Persistent and ephemeral node storage \n]() for more information.\n\n- Choose your [deployment platform]().\n\n    Redis Enterprise 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]()\n    - [Docker container]() (for development and testing only)\n    - [Kubernetes]()\n\n    For more details, see [Supported platforms]().\n\n- Open appropriate [network ports]() in the firewall to allow connections to the nodes.\n\n- Configure [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]().\n\n- [Configure different mount points for data and log directories]().\n\n## Next steps\n\nAfter you finish planning your deployment, you can:\n\n- [Download an installation package]().\n\n- [Prepare to install]() Redis Enterprise Software.\n\n- [View installation questions]() and prepare answers before installation.\n",
