The deployment option you choose to follow should be based on the components of the AppDynamics platform that you want to deploy. Deployment options that include the Controller and Events Service installations require the Enterprise Console, while the EUM Server installation requires the use of package installers.

Based on your AppDynamics deployment, you may use the Enterprise Console for the following tasks:

• Install a Controller and an embedded Events Service.
• Install an HA pair and scaled-out Events Service.
• Install or upgrade the Events Service on Linux.
• Install or upgrade an Events Service on Windows that runs on a single host.
• Discover and manage a Controller and Events Service.
• Upgrade a Controller or HA pair and preserve customizations after the upgrade.
• Upgrade MySQL to the latest supported version.

The following tasks cannot be performed using the Enterprise Console, and therefore, must be performed manually:

• Install or upgrade an HA pair on Windows.
• Install or upgrade an Events Service on Windows that runs on multiple hosts as a cluster.
• Install the EUM Server.
• Install the Synthetic Server.
