Is there a tool similar to yb-ctl that starts multiple nodes (not on the same machine, i.e. non local cluster)

Hi
Excuse me, we currently need to start a non local cluster, and can only start the master and tserver separately on each node as follows:
Run the yb-master server on each of the nodes as follows:
./bin/yb-master
–master_addresses 172.151.17.130:7100,172.151.17.220:7100,172.151.17.140:7100
–rpc_bind_addresses 172.151.17.130
–fs_data_dirs “/home/centos/disk1,/home/centos/disk2”
–placement_cloud aws
–placement_region us-west
–placement_zone us-west-2a
–leader_failure_max_missed_heartbeat_periods 10 \

& /home/centos/disk1/yb-master.out &

And run the yb-tserver server on each node as follows:
./bin/yb-tserver
–tserver_master_addrs 172.151.17.130:7100,172.151.17.220:7100,172.151.17.140:7100
–rpc_bind_addresses 172.151.17.130
–enable_ysql
–pgsql_proxy_bind_address 172.151.17.130:5433
–cql_proxy_bind_address 172.151.17.130:9042
–fs_data_dirs “/home/centos/disk1,/home/centos/disk2”
–placement_cloud aws
–placement_region us-west
–placement_zone us-west-2a
–leader_failure_max_missed_heartbeat_periods 10 \

& /home/centos/disk1/yb-tserver.out &

Is there a method for starting a cluster with multiple nodes, such as using yb-ctl to start a local cluster ？
Thank you very much.

You can use yugabyted.

Note that yugabyted is not recommended for production deployments. For production deployments with fully-distributed multi-node clusters, use yb-tserver and yb-master directly. Refer to Deploy YugabyteDB.

For a fully distributed multi node cluster, when there are many nodes, it would be inconvenient to deploy them directly using yb-master and yb-server on each node, right?
However, perhaps I can do multi node startup through shell scripts.

Why? You could automate many steps. Like using sytemd How to run YugabyteDB with systemd? - Stack Overflow. And using something like ansible, etc.
