You can run Aembit Edge Components on virtual machines (VMs) to enable secure, identity-based access between workloads.
When deploying on VMs, you install Agent Controller and Agent Proxy directly onto each machine.
After installation, you must register Agent Proxy with an Agent Controller configured with a Trust Provider or with your Aembit Tenant using a one-time Device Code.
Once deployed, the Agent Proxy intercepts workload traffic, injects credentials, and enforces access policies—without requiring application changes.
This section provides installation guides for deploying Aembit Edge Components on VMs in Linux and Windows environments.
