Choose an Application

Choose an application for the wizard. An application typically consists of multiple workloads that provide different services such as web services or databases, primary and backup servers. Together, these workloads provide the application's functionality to its users.

Guidelines for Choosing Your Application

Secure Workload supports workloads running on a wide range of platforms and operating systems, including cloud-based and containerized workloads. However, for this wizard, choose an application with workloads that are:

• Running in your data center.

• Running on bare metal and or on virtual machines.

• Running on Windows, Linux, or AIX platforms supported with Secure Workload agents, see Compatibility Matrix.

• Deployed in a preproduction environment.

You can run the wizard even if you have not chosen an application and gathered IP addresses, but you cannot complete the wizard without doing these things.

If you do not complete the wizard before signing out (or timing out) or navigate to a different part of the Secure workload application (use the left navigation bar), the wizard configurations are not saved.

For details about how to add a scope or add Scope and Labels, see the Scopes and Inventory section of the Cisco Secure Workload User Guide.
