This guide provides all the information necessary to install and upgrade VENs on the hosts in your environment.
This guide explain the two methods for installation; namely, using the PCE web console to pair VENs with your hosts or to download the VEN software from the Illumio Support portal and install the software by using the VEN command line interface.
VENs for Illumio Core Cloud Customers
When you are an Illumio Core Cloud customer, Illumio Operations hosts and manages the PCE infrastructure used to provide Illumio Core services. Customers do not install or manage any Illumio Core PCE software in their environments.
However, Illumio Core Secure Cloud customers are responsible for deploying and managing the Illumio Virtual Enforcement Node (VEN) software on their workloads.
The 21.2.0 and later releases for Illumio Core Cloud consist of updated software for the Illumio Core PCE software. The Illumio Core Cloud release for 21.2.0 and later includes releases of the VEN consistent with your Illumio Core Cloud SLA. For availability information for VEN version 21.2.x for Cloud, contact your support representative.
Illumio Endpoint Segmentation
Beginning in 21.2.2-VEN and later releases, Illumio supports using the VEN to visualize and segment workloads running on Windows domain-joined endpoints from a single PCE (Illumio Endpoint).
Illumio Endpoint Segmentation is supported for the 21.3.0 PCE and later releases.
To use this feature with the 21.2.2 and 21.2.3 VENs, see the Illumio Endpoint Segmentation Guide in the 21.3.0 Documentation Portal.
