Installation

  • Copy the Workload Agent installation binary to the /root/ directory

  • Verify that the trustagent.env answer file is present. This file was necessary for installing/provisioning the Trust Agent. Note that the additional content required for Workload Confidentiality with either VM Encryption or Container Encryption must be included in the trustagent.env file (samples provided in the previous section) for use by the Workload Agent.
