App Host

An App Host is a Kubernetes-based container deployment environment that hosts app containers. The App Host supports apps in a container format created with the SOAR SDK and packaged as zip files.

A SOAR environment with App Hosts requires a container repository, and connections to any security applications. By default, the container repository is quay.io at https://quay.io/user/ibmresilient. All of the apps on the App Exchange that support the App Host have their images in the quay.io registry.

You can substitute quay.io with your own repository. Optionally, you can use a mirroring script to copy all or specific apps from quay.io to your private repo, as described in the App Host Deployment Guide.

When running a function app, the function runs in the SOAR platform and the function processor runs in the App Host.

Web URLs, custom threat services and plugins are not deployed by and do not run in the App Host.
