# Create an agent using Docker

Supported in:

This document outlines the procedure to deploy a Remote Agent using the platform's
Docker installation wizard. This method automates the container setup process on
the host machine. Before you begin, verify that your host meets the operating
system and outbound firewall prerequisites, including access to container
registries and Google Security Operations endpoints, in
[Review deployment requirements](https://docs.cloud.google.com/chronicle/docs/soar/working-with-remote-agents/requirements-and-prerequisites).

1. In the Google Security Operations platform, go to **Settings \> Administration \> SOAR Remote Agents**.
2. On the **Remote Agents** page, click **Add** \> **Docker installation**.
3. In the **Name** field, enter an agent name.
4. Select an environment for the agent.
5. Follow all steps in the wizard to complete the deployment.
6. Click **Next** to perform a connectivity check with your new agent. If the check is successful, the agent is added. If the check fails, a prompt appears with helpful links on how to troubleshoot the issue.
7. Click **Done**. The agent is now added.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** At this stage, you can't update the Docker image. For details on how to update an existing Remote Agent using its Docker image, see [Perform a major upgrade of a Docker image](https://docs.cloud.google.com/chronicle/docs/soar/working-with-remote-agents/upgrade-agent-docker-image).
