Supported platforms for Engine deployment

You can run Engines on various platforms.

The following general types of platforms are available for Engines:

VMware ESX and KVM virtualization platforms
Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platform (Firewall/VPN role only)
Microsoft Azure cloud-based virtualization platform (Firewall/VPN role only)
Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-based virtualization platform (Firewall/VPN role only)
Third-party hardware that meets the hardware requirements

Note: When Engine is running on a virtualization platform or a cloud virtualization platform, Master Engine and Virtual Engine are not supported.

For supported versions of virtualization platforms, see the Release Notes.

The Engine software includes an integrated, hardened Linux operating system. The operating system eliminates the need for separate installation, configuration, and patching.
