|---|---|
| Production ready |  |
| Upgrade Tableau without replacing the instance | |
| Install on Linux | |
| Install on Windows | |
| Scale-up | |

The self-deployment option is described in more detail below:
Self-Deploy to Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance – Provides the most flexibility and options to customise Tableau Server to your environment.
Self-deployment of Tableau Server on an ECS instance is recommended for development, test and production environments that start simple but may need to scale later.
