Horizon Instant Clone Considerations for Carbon Black Linux Sensors

This article describes how a Horizon instant clone receives a Device ID and is assigned to a policy.

1. The endpoint requests a new Device ID.
2. The new Device ID is identified as a virtual desktop on the backend.
3. The endpoint inherits the policy from the golden image unless you have previously created sensor groups and the installed sensor matches a sensor group’s criteria. Manual policy assignment post-installation overrides the inheritance.
