Create an Edge site

Updated: January 30, 2026

Create an Edge site site to use a processing runtime on your own premises instead of the Collibra infrastructure.

Note If you have Collibra Platform Self-Hosted, and want to create an Air-gapped Edge site, you can't create an Edge site in Edge management. You must follow the ZARF package installation steps in Install an Edge site.

Prerequisites

• Your server meets system requirements.
• You have enabled database registration via Edge in Collibra Console.

  Note You must restart the Data Governance Center service when you have enabled this option.

• You have enabled Edge for CPSH.
