Container defender installation fails on ARM64

NPalmer2 — Wed, 21 May 2025 03:51:34 GMT

Hi,

When I try to install the Linux container defender on ARM64 the installation fails:

Container twistlock_defender_34_01_126 has restarted multiple times (1); Deployment failed.
Failed to run twistlock.sh.

Does the container defender support ARM64 architecture?

Regards,
N.

Hello!

ARM Architecture Requirements The following setups support ARM64 architecture for Defenders: Orchestrator Defenders on AWS and GCP Host Defenders

So the answer is no, according to our system requirements.

Great, thank you. I thought as much but there's an option to select ARM64 as the defender OS type when adding a registry (you can see in the screenshot below).

defender can be installed. pcs console cannot be installed on ARM architecture.

"Prisma Cloud is excited to announce cloud workload protection for compute-intensive AWS Graviton workloads running on Arm-based architectures."

It was announced in Q2 or Q3 of 2024
