BigID and Docker

Best-of-suite data intelligence, deployed as a single package

Running BigID with Docker Containers

BigID positions Docker containers and microservices at the epicenter of its architecture. Docker packages the BigID application and its dependencies in a lightweight, virtual container that can run on any Linux server.

BigID developed its platform in Docker, and Docker supports running the BigID application in single or dual server modes, also supporting additional scanner nodes. Log into Docker, set your environment variables, and initialize. Run the scanner, and you’re ready to go!
