Overview
CloudGuard WAF can be deployed using Docker Images in one of two main configurations:
- Single Docker - a single docker image containing a managed reverse proxy server and the CloudGuard WAF Security agent.
- Dual Dockers - NGINX Reverse Proxy Docker or Kong API Gateway Docker + CloudGuard WAF Security Agent Docker
The following table compares the two options:
| Single Docker | Dual Docker | |
|---|---|---|
| CloudGuard WAF | Full | Full |
| NGINX | Managed Centrally via WebUI/API or Locally | Managed Locally |
| Kong | Not Available | Managed Locally |
| Upgrade | Standard | Each Docker can be upgraded separately |
| Docker Compose protecting a specific Application | Supported | Not Supported |
| Run in PaaS platforms such as Azure App Services | Supported | Not Supported |

Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the ask query parameter, and the optional goal query parameter:
GET https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/docker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
ask is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
goal is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
