11 11  == 2. Key concepts ==
12 12  In the new runtime architecture of eMagiz, Docker technology is used to deploy runtimes. eMagiz creates specific runtime images that contain the eMagiz runtime, and can be deployed in dockerized environments.
13 13  
14 -In the below section the specific operating systems and versions are discussed in a sense that the prerequisite installations are described. Once the right installation is done, refer to section 3.7 for the installation of the eMagiz agent that manages the interaction with the eMagiz platform. That agent will download the created docker images that will be deployed in the Docker environment.
14 +In the below section the Windows and Linux variants are described in terms of how to prepare the server to allow the eMagiz Deploy agent to be installed. That agent allows to download images from the eMagiz infrastructure.

For memory we recommend to review the mempory settings for the runtime that need to run on this server and add 762 MB to the total value of the heap and non-heap of these runtimes. For processor we recommend to set the value to 2 - depending on the amount of processors available on that machine
