Deploying Guardium on a cloud service

IBM® Security Guardium® offers data activity monitoring, vulnerability assessment capabilities and more on several cloud platforms.

For a list of supported cloud platforms, see System Requirements for Guardium 11.4.

For more information about deploying a Guardium instance on a specific cloud platform, see the deployment guide for that platform in Deploying Guardium in the cloud.

In addition to the Guardium instance, you might need to download updates for S-TAPs or other components from Fix Central. For more information, see IBM Support Fix Central.

Important: Upgrading multi-cloud images directly from Guardium v10.x to v11.0 or later is supported only for AWS. If your site uses Guardium v10.x with another cloud platform, you cannot directly upgrade the Guardium images to v11.
If you try to upgrade, the instance becomes inaccessible and irretrievable. To upgrade images on these platforms to v11.0 or later:
  1. Start a new v11 image.
  2. Back up and restore from your Guardium system as described in System Backup.
