= Deploying a Tang server using the NBDE Tang Server Operator

You can deploy and quickly configure one or more Tang servers using the NBDE Tang Server Operator in the web console.

.Prerequisites

* You must have `cluster-admin` privileges on an {product-title} cluster.
* You have installed the NBDE Tang Server Operator on your OCP cluster.

. Click *Create*.
. NBDE Tang Server replicas require a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) for storing encryption keys. In the web console, navigate to *Storage* -> *PersistentVolumeClaims*:
+

. On the following `PersistentVolumeClaims` screen, click *Create PersistentVolumeClaim*.
. On the `Create PersistentVolumeClaim` page, select a storage that fits your deployment scenario. Consider how often you want to rotate the encryption keys. Name your PVC and choose the claimed storage capacity, for example:

. Navigate to *Ecosystem* -> *Installed Operators*, and click *NBDE Tang Server*.
. Click *Create instance*.
+

. On the `Create TangServer` page, choose the name of the Tang Server instance, amount of replicas, and specify the name of the previously created Persistent Volume Claim, for example:
+

. After you enter the required values a change settings that differ from the default values in your scenario, click *Create*.
