Container-Based Deployment Is Now GA for Privilege Secure for Discovery
Starting with 2.22.13 and 26.03.1, container-based deployment for Netwrix Privilege Secure for Discovery (NPS-D) is generally available. You deploy NPS-D as containers on a standard Ubuntu host using a single shell script bundled with a config package.
The ISO appliance image isn’t going anywhere if your environment depends on it. But containers are now the recommended path for both new and existing deployments.
What changed
You run one shell script on an Ubuntu machine. That’s the install / upgrade. The script is plain text, so you can read it before you run it and see exactly what it does. No black-box components, nothing hidden.
What you get
- Deploy almost anywhere. On-prem VMs, VMware, Hyper-V, or AWS / Azure / GCP. Any Ubuntu host. No proprietary image format.
- HA out of the box. Single-node and three-node high-availability clusters, both supported. Docker Swarm handles orchestration under the hood.
- Upgrades are one command. Run it on the primary node. The script pulls the new containers and restarts services automatically. No manual image management.
- Versioned builds from the Netwrix container registry. Your hosts always pull the exact build you asked for.
Why this matters for admins and support teams
Upgrades used to be a project. Now they’re a command. That means less operational overhead, faster time to the latest version, and a much cleaner fit with whatever infrastructure automation you already run.
It’s also the foundation we’re building on. New capabilities ship faster because we’re not fighting the delivery mechanism anymore.

A note on release lines
NPS-D ships on two lines right now:
| Release line | Status | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| 26.03 and later | Active development. New features land here, including native Microsoft Entra ID integration. | Quarterly (26.03, 26.06, 26.09…) |
| 2.22 | Legacy. Approaching end of support. | Maintenance only |
If you’re still on 2.22, plan your move to the current release line so you don’t miss ongoing development and new capabilities. Upgrade guidance is in the docs, and your Netwrix account contact can help if you need to scope the transition.
Questions, gotchas, or feedback from your first deployment, drop them in the thread. We read everything.
