HW support for kubernetes nano agent

skipi — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:35:39 GMT

Halo community,

is it possible to get kubernetes nano agent working on cluster running on top of other HW that amd64? Either officially on unofficialy/unsupported...

My main point is whether I can run it on k8s running on arm64 HW or not.

Thanks,

I do not think the HW is important - see https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Application-Security/Demo-for-Helm-Chart-with-CloudGuard-AppSec/td-p/111934 and https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Application-Security/Deploying-WAAP-with-Helm/td-p/106767?attachment-id=4317

That is correct, the underline HW is irrelevant.

Hi, thanks for response.

As I read through the documentation I found this in AppSec Solution Brief :

CPUs: X86 (64bit)

same thing is mentioned also in presales technical training materials. What is this CPUs definition about then?

Thanks

I would suggest to either just test it in your kubernetes environment or open an informational SR# with TAC.

Hi,

Apologize for my previous thoughtless answer.

The cp-alpine is being built for X86 only.

build it to other architectures will take time for research.

I can talk with the relevant R&D owners and ask them to develop support for other architectures, but I would need a business case.

if it's relevant please drop me a private message.

Thank you

Hi Shay,

thanks for your answer. In the meantime I've got into contact with R&D via our local guys. I can confirm your info. There's no ARM64 version for now, but is planned. I have no confirmed date yet.

Have a nice day
