Great to see you here, you just arrived at the real stuff! As you may have understood Kerberos Agent is a containerized solution. A Kerberos Agent, or container equivalent, is running for each camera. This approach makes it scalable, isolated and probably the most important thing an exceptional workload governance.

Due to it's nature, of acting as a micro service, there are many different ways how to get this Kerberos Agent up and running. This part of the Kerberos Agent repository contains example configurations, for all the different deployments and automations you can leverage to deploy and scale your video landscape.

We will discuss following deployment models.

1. Docker
2. Docker Compose
3. Kubernetes
4. RedHat Ansible and OpenShift
5. Kerberos Factory
6. Terraform
7. Salt

1. Docker

Leveraging docker is probably one of the easiest way to run and test the Kerberos Agent. Thanks to it's multi-architecture images you could run it on almost every machine. The docker approach is perfect for running one or two cameras in a (single machine) home deployment, a POC to verify its capabilities, or testing if your old/new IP camera is operational with our Kerberos Agent.

2. Docker Compose

If you consider docker as "your way to go", but require to run a bigger (single machine) deployment at home or inside your store then docker compose would be more suitable. By specifying a single docker-compose.yaml file, you can define all your Kerberos Agents (and thus cameras) in a single file, with a custom configuration to fit your needs.

3. Kubernetes

As described above, docker is a great tool for smaller deployments, where you are just running on a single machine and want to ramp up quickly. As you might expect, this is a not an ideal situation for production deployments. Kubernetes can help you to build a scalable, flexible and resilient deployment.
