Provides details about prerequisite operating systems, third-party software, and extend installation files required to use
the extend Containerization feature.
Windows
To use containerization on a Windows platform, the following must be installed on your system:
- Microsoft Windows 10 or later with Hyper-V enabled. See
Install Hyper-V on Windows 10 for details.
- One of the following:
- Docker Desktop for Windows, which provides a GUI and requires a license. To obtain this software, see
Get Docker.
- Docker standalone Windows binaries for the Docker Daemon and the Docker CLI. This option does not include a GUI, but also
requires no license. For details, see the
Setup topic under
Windows Demonstration.
In addition, your system must have access to the extend 64-bit
.msi setup file for extend version 10.5.0 or later.
Important: The extend
.exe setup file does not allow for silent installation, which is required when building an image. Therefore, you must use the
.msi file.
Linux
To use containerization on a Linux platform, the following must be installed on your Linux system:
- Podman Linux container engine. For details, see
podman.io.
In addition, your system must have access to the extend 64-bit shared Linux installable setup executable file, and appropriate
license files. See
Linux Demonstrations for a list of license files required for the extend containerization samples.
Note: The Ubuntu 20.04 Linux host operating system is required to run the extend containerization demonstration.
