What is a requirement for Dynatrace Managed installation?

For the installation of Dynatrace Managed, one of the primary requirements is that it must be deployed on a supported Linux operating system. This is essential because Dynatrace Managed is optimized for performance and stability within the Linux environment, leveraging its features for monitoring and analyzing application performance effectively.

Supported Linux distributions provide the necessary infrastructure for Dynatrace Managed to run, ensuring compatibility with the underlying system libraries and packages. Choosing a Linux OS also aligns with enterprise standards for running robust applications in production environments, where performance and reliability are critical.

The other operating systems listed do not meet the requirements for a Dynatrace Managed installation. While Windows OS might support other variants of Dynatrace deployments (such as Dynatrace SaaS or individual agents), it is not a requirement for the Managed version. MacOS is generally not used for server-level applications like Dynatrace Managed, and many operating systems are not supported for this specific type of installation. Thus, Linux remains the correct and preferred choice for deploying Dynatrace Managed instances.
