Install AM
Production or production-like environments require a separate configuration store and CTS token store.
You can store the configuration in a DS server or in JSON files. File-based configuration (FBC) is best-suited to a DevOps-style deployment, with the associated tools and practices of that approach.
The CTS token store must be a DS server. If you store configuration in a DS server, AM stores CTS tokens there until you configure a separate LDAP store for them.

The following table provides information to help you install AM instances:
| Task or requirement | Resources |
|---|---|
Configure an instance interactively in a production or pre-production environment This can be the first instance of a site deployment. Interactive installation assumes a DS configuration store. |
|
Configure an instance without user interaction You can install an instance passively with either a DS configuration or file-based configuration. |
|
Configure an AM site and add an instance to the site A site lets you group multiple AM servers. |
Install multiple instances for high availability
Install multiple instances to maintain service availability. If one instance is down for any reason, another instance can respond instead. This means you need some type of component, such as a load balancer or a proxy server, between incoming traffic and AM to route around instances that are down.
AM uses a site for this purpose. In an AM site, multiple AM instances are configured in the same way, and accessed through a load balancer layer.
The load balancer can be implemented in hardware or software, but it is separate and independent from AM. When installed properly, a site configuration improves service availability, because the load balancer routes around AM instances that are down, sending traffic to other servers in the site.
You can find high-level deployment information in Deployment planning.

If you need to delete your AM configuration entirely and start again, you can find information in Delete and redeploy AM. |
