For machine-image deployments, consider the following information:
- PowerProtect Data Manager can only be deployed to virtual hosts on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Product (GCP). These virtual hosts cannot be in an environment that includes VMware Cloud (VMC) or Azure VMware Solution (AVS), although any deployed PowerProtect Data Manager can still protect resources in those environments.
- Machine images are deployed using the web-based user interface of a cloud provider.
- Deployed PowerProtect Data Manager instances detect their environment and are automatically appropriately configured.
- PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE can be deployed simultaneously and from the same interface.
