== 1. Prerequisites ==

7

8

* Advanced knowledge of the eMagiz platform

9

* Good understanding of eMagiz runtimes in general

10

11

== 2. Key concepts ==

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

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.

=== 3.7 eMagiz Docker agent installation ===

141

142

eMagiz needs to install a specific agent in the Docker instance that allows to download runtime images that needs to be installed on the Docker instance. The specific command to run inside the Docker instance is specific for the machine that is configured inside eMagiz Design & Deploy Architectures. It can be found inside the eMagiz iPaaS portal under Deploy Architecture. At the runtime connector, there is a right click option called Deploy Agent. That presents either the command or the location where that agent is installed.

After installing the agent, you can use the Docker cheat sheet below to see if the docker containers are running and/or images are available.

== 5. Key takeaways ==

155

156

* eMagiz uses runtime images to deploy emagiz runtime on dockerized environments. The runtime image holds all the information and components required to run the runtime

157

* eMagiz has a specific agent that manages the download of that image to the on-premises server

158

* The firewall of the on-premises environment should allow outgoing traffic without any restriction. In case that is not desirable, eMagiz can provide the addresses and ports needed to setup the right firewall rules.
