• Relational store using MySQL
• Cache and synchronization using Redis
• Data warehousing using Elasticsearch

Cortex XSOAR is provided as an Kubernetes cluster, a set of nodes (VMs) that runs containerized applications that package Cortex XSOAR with its dependencies and some necessary services. You can decide how many nodes/VMs to include in the cluster when running the Administrative tool. You can decide between a standalone environment (one node) or a multi-node cluster (three nodes).

Playbooks are executed on dedicated and isolated workers and workloads do not share compute resources.
