+# Enrollment handing for containerized agents
+
+For {{fleet}}-managed {{agents}} that run in a containerized environment (including Docker, Kubernetes, and others), enrollment handling is managed as follows:
+
+* **Enrollment Verification:** {{agent}} checks the stored enrollment conditions within its container environment and re-enrolls only when necessary.
+* **Unenrollment Handling:** If an {{agent}} is unenrolled via the {{fleet}} UI but still references a valid enrollment token provided through environment variables, it will automatically re-enroll on the next container restart.
+
+In versions lower than 8.18, an unenrolled agent remains unenrolled and does not re-enroll, even if a valid enrollment token is still available.
