Container extensions

Edit online

Container extensions can be installed on the appliance to add support for containerized IBM applications. Container extensions are available from the IBM Security® App Exchange site (https://www.ibm.com/security/community/app-exchange).

Before the appliance can run a supported containerized application, a container extension for that application must be installed on the appliance. The supported container extensions are available from the IBM Security App Exchange site (https://www.ibm.com/security/community/app-exchange).

The container extension is an IBM provided installable Appliance Extension that contains information about the containerized appliance and how it is run. After the corresponding extension for an application is installed, the container metadata can be reviewed by using the Container Metadata REST API. For an overview of the REST API and steps to deploy a containerized application, see Deploying containers.

Note: The container platform can be used to run only containerized applications which IBM publishes container extensions for.
