### What are air gap installations?
46
+
47
+
_Air gap_ refers to a computer or network that does not have outbound internet access. Air-gapped environments are common for enterprises that require high security, such as government agencies or financial institutions.
48
+
49
+
Traditionally, air-gapped systems are physically isolated from the network. For example, an air-gapped server might be stored in a separate location away from network-connected servers. Physical access to the air-gapped server is often restricted as well.
50
+
51
+
It is also possible to use _virtual_ or _logical_ air gaps, in which security controls such as firewalls, role-based access control (RBAC), and encryption are used to logically isolate a device from a network. In this way, network access is still restricted, but there is not a phyiscal air gap that disconnects the device from the network.

53

Replicated supports installations into air-gapped environments. In an air gap installation, users first download the required images (usually in the form of an _air gap bundle_) on an internet-connected device. Then, they transfer the air gap bundle to their air-gapped machine where they can push the images to an internal private registry and install.

For applications distributed with Replicated, air gap installations are those that use _air gap bundles_. Air gap bundles contain the images required to install the given application. In an air gap installation, users download the required air gap bundles on an internet-connected device, and then transfer the bundles to their air-gapped machine to install.
