Installing ESA
Install ESA on-premise or on a cloud platform.
You can install ESA on-premise or a cloud platform such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. When you upgrade from a previous version, ESA is available as patch. The following are the different ways of installing ESA:
Installing ESA
- ISO Installation: This installation is performed for an on-premise environment where ESA is installed on a local system using an ESA ISO is provided by Protegrity. The installation of the ISO begins by installing the hardened version of Linux on your system, setting up the network, and configuring date/time. This is then followed by updating the location, setting up OS user accounts, and installing the ESA-related components. For more information about installing ESA using ISO, refer to the Protegrity Installation Guide 9.2.0.0.
- Cloud Platforms: On Cloud platforms such as, AWS, GCP, or Azure, ESA images for the respective cloud are generated and provided by Protegrity. In these images, ESA is installed with specific components. You must obtain the image from Protegrity and create an instance on the cloud platform. After creating the instance, you run certain steps for finalizing the installation. For more information about installing ESA on cloud platforms, refer to the Protegrity Installation Guide 9.2.0.0.
A temporary license is provided by default when you first install the Appliance and is valid for 30 days from the date of this installation. To continue using Protegrity features, you have to obtain a validated license before your temporary license expires.
