If you need to perform maintenance on the server hosting your YugabyteDB Anywhere installation requiring a shutdown or restart, you should shut YugabyteDB Anywhere down gracefully.

## YBA Installer

If you installed YugabyteDB Anywhere using [YBA Installer](../../install-yugabyte-platform/install-software/installer/#service-management), shut down using the following command:

```sh
$ sudo yba-ctl stop
```

To restart the service, use the following command:

```sh
$ sudo yba-ctl start
```

The service should automatically start up after a reboot.

## Kubernetes

For Kubernetes, node patching doesn't require YugabyteDB Anywhere coordination.
