Set up a content management system with a development environment to create and test content before using it in a production environment.
When you set up a remote repository, you can add any private content repository that is Git-based, including GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Also, On-prem repositories are supported.
Although you can set up multiple development tenants, in a cluster of tenants that includes one production tenant and one or more development tenants, only one development tenant can push content. The production tenant and any other development tenants pull from the one development tenant that is configured to push content. After the remote repository is enabled in the production tenant, by default, the first development tenant that has been installed is set to push content to the remote repository. When you create additional development tenants, they are set to pull content from the remote repository.
If the content repository option is disabled for the production or development tenant, the tenant becomes standalone and does not push or pull content.
Before you begin
If you are changing your remote repository settings, back up existing content to your local computer by navigating to → → → → and click Export all custom content.
You must have Instance Administrator or Account Admin permission.
Install a development tenant
If you haven't done so already, download and install the Cortex XSOAR development tenant.
From the Cortex Gateway, in the Available for Activation section, use the serial number to locate the development tenant to download.
Click Re-Download On Prem.
Select Dev and click Next.
Select the relevant image file.
Note
Although you must select the same image file you downloaded for production, you are not restricted to using a different platform on the development tenant. For example, if you have downloaded an OVA file and installed the VM on AWS in the production tenant, you can install the VM on OCI in the development tenant.
Agree to the terms and conditions and select Download.
Install Cortex XSOAR according to the image file downloaded.
After you have installed the development tenant, you can now set up the private remote repository. For more information, see Set up a private remote repository.
To learn more about remote repositories, requirements, and configuration, see Content management in Cortex XSOAR.
