Transform Concepts

What is Transform

Transform feature builds the docker container image out of all the artifacts collected during the discover phase like process binaries, process dependencies, process ports ( referred to as process information ). - OmniDeq application uses an agentless method for the said transform.

Build Box

Host is a physical or virtual machine which runs the docker daemon which builds the docker container image from process information. Following Build Box OSes are supported. ( Follow the full support matrix here.)

• Linux
• Windows

Transform Phases

Transform Process is divided into 2 phases.

• Phase 1 - Builds the docker container out of process information.
• Phase 2 - Uploads the docker container on public/private docker registry.

Phase 2 is optional.

Prerequisites

The build box requires the prerequisites to be satisfied before starting the transform. This is a mandatory step without which the transform will not start.

• Linux prerequisites
• Windows prerequisites

Base Image

This is base Docker container image ( Typically available on dockerhub or custom built ) used to include the process information to create the final application container.
