Zenarmor provides support for Docker environments, allowing organizations to deploy the Zenarmor endpoint application directly inside containerized workloads.

With Docker support, containerized applications can securely connect to your organization through Zenarmor SASE and ZTNA capabilities without requiring additional physical or virtual appliances. This enables traffic inspection, policy enforcement, and secure private access for workloads running in containerized environments.

info

A SASE or ZTNA subscription is required to use Zenarmor in Docker environments.

You can deploy the Zenarmor endpoint application in Docker environments using the provided Docker command.

Follow the steps below to deploy Zenarmor on Docker:

1. Open your browser and navigate to Zenconsole.

2. Enter your username and password.

3. In the left-hand navigation menu, click Global Deployments.

4. Navigate to Gateways & Endpoints in Zenconsole.

7. Open a Terminal window on the Docker host system.

8. Paste the copied command into the Terminal and press Enter to run it.

9. Wait while Docker downloads the required Zenarmor container image and creates the container. At the end of the installation, an activation code and activation link QR code will be displayed in the Terminal as given below.
