Deploying Cyfin or CyBlock in Azure, AWS, Docker, or Other Environments

Applies to: Cyfin · CyBlock · Choosing a deployment format or requesting a non-standard environment.

Cyfin and CyBlock are delivered by default as a VMware OVA file, a Hyper-V installer, or as a hosted Cloud service. Azure is not one of the standard self-service deployment options — but Wavecrest can support it. If you want to run the Cyfin trial (or CyBlock) in Microsoft Azure, contact Wavecrest and we’ll provide the correct image and setup guidance for your environment.

Standard deployment options

Both Cyfin and CyBlock ship in these formats by default:

VMware OVA file
Hyper-V installer
Cloud service (hosted by Wavecrest)

If your environment supports one of these, use the matching option and follow its standard installation guide.

Other supported environments

Need something different? We can support additional environments — they’re just not self-service downloads. These include:

Microsoft Azure
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Docker containers
Other VMware-compatible virtualization platforms

For any of these, contact Wavecrest so we can supply the correct image and setup guidance for your platform.
