• AWS Account with AWS CLI and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) access.
• Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) to upload Qualys Cloud Agent installer.
• Kubectl for communicating with Kubernetes control plane. It allows you to perform every Kubernetes operation.
• Docker Application
• eksctl a simple CLI, for creating and managing clusters on EKS.

 You can use any repository supported by AWS EKS to push the Qualys Cloud Agent image. The installation process for Qualys Cloud Agent on the AWS Bottlerocket Container host is the same.
