Before you install the Cloud Bridge Agent, you must set up a Linux server with a supported operating system and a Docker or Podman environment. You can use either a virtual machine or a physical server. The following steps assume you are performing the most common installation, where the Cloud Bridge Agent is running on premises as a guest virtual machine.
IMPORTANT:If your current environment requires the Cloud Bridge Agent to be running in a cloud environment such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, you do not need to download an installer image, because you can create a new instance directly with those operating systems.
To set up the Agent server:
Download an installer image of a supported operating system. For more information, see the documentation for the selected operating system.
Create a new virtual machine that meets all specified requirements. For more information, see the documentation for the selected virtual environment.
Install your preferred operating system on your newly created virtual machine.
Verify that your server has access to the internet as well as to your internal authentication repositories and applications.
Depending on your chosen operating system, complete additional steps to install Docker or Podman as follows:
