# Docker

## Overview

CloudGuard WAF can be deployed using Docker Images in one of two main configurations:

* **Single Docker** - a single docker image containing a managed reverse proxy server and the CloudGuard WAF Security agent.

* **Dual Dockers** - **NGINX Reverse Proxy** **Docker** or **Kong API Gateway Docker** + **CloudGuard WAF Security Agent Docker**

The following table compares the two options:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/docker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
