Breeze Agent 3.x Compatibility & Support

This guide provides summary on supported operating systems, architectures, packaging, cloud platforms, and migration co-existence guidance.

Supported Operating Systems​

Breeze Agent 3.x is tested on the same core platforms as the general agent, including:

  • Linux: Amazon Linux 1, 2, and 2023; RHEL / CentOS 7+; Debian 8+; Ubuntu 14.04+.
  • Windows: Windows Server 2012 and newer.
  • macOS: macOS 12+ (Monterey and later).

Architectures and Packaging​

  • Linux: x86_64 and arm64 (aarch64), distributed as signed archives with an install script.
  • Windows: x86_64 installer executable.
  • macOS: builds for Intel and Apple Silicon, suitable for deployment through MDM and software distribution tools.

Cloud Platforms and Integrations​

  • First‑class support for major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud) where instance metadata access is required for full functionality.
  • Kubernetes support via a DaemonSet deployed to each node in supported managed or self‑managed clusters.
  • Improved support for macOS deployment via MDM, including Jamf‑based rollouts.

Co‑Existence With Earlier Agents​

  • During migration, you can stage 3.x alongside existing 1.x deployments across different host groups or environments.
  • Cloudaware recommends avoiding multiple Breeze agents on the same host at the same time; perform a controlled cut‑over per host or node.
  • Use the Migration guide and Changelog to plan rollouts and understand any behavioral differences.
