Installing – In containers
A new deployment model that consists of a repository (loaded with all out-of-the-box adapters and modules, referred to as content) and a Configuration Distribution Peer (CDP) is now available in Docker images. You install other components such as the Development Studio and the Lightweight Activity Peer on separate hardware (physical servers or virtual machines) as you would in a classic deployment scenario.
Installation process – At a glance
Installation process
In a test environment, you can install all TrueSight Orchestration component images (repository, CDP, and content only) on a single host. You still install LAP and Development Studio on hosts outside the containers. For instructions, see Installing on a single node.
For the production environment, follow the sequence in this topic.
When you install TrueSight Orchestration in containers, the repository image contains embedded Remedy SSO. If you want to use an existing instance of external Remedy SSO, you can reconfigure the components after the product installation is complete. If you choose to use a new instance of external Remedy SSO, install it before installing other components.
As an administrator, use this information to plan new deployments of TrueSight Orchestration in containers.

Use these instructions if installing a new instance of Remedy Single Sign-On. Choose one of the options depending on your deployment scenarios.
| Description | Procedure |
|---|---|
By default, embedded Remedy SSO is installed with the repository. The embedded instance is used as an external Remedy SSO for the CDP. If using an external Remedy SSO, install it before installing TrueSight Orchestration. |

TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio is a graphical authoring tool used to create, modify, and test workflows. It is a thick-client application that can be installed on Windows operating system only.
When you download the platform installation files, a separate installer is bundled for installing the Development Studio.

Unlike the classic deployment scenarios, you do not need additional peers such as the Activity Peer or the High-Availability CDP for achieving high availability. Swarm mode for containers support HA.
However, in this release, TrueSight Orchestration can only be installed on Linux-based operating systems. You can choose to install an LAP to host windows-based adapters.
Description | Procedure |
|---|---|
Before installing any additional peer, you must add the peer in Grid Manager. LAPs host adapters, but unlike the other peer types, they cannot execute workflows. |
