GCP Scan OS Compatibility

We continuously update the support for operating systems and platforms that can run Snapshot-based scan to give you fast and efficient scan results of all your target assets. Snapshot Based Assessment currently supports many systems. Refer below for the OS versions and supported platforms for Qualys Zero-touch Snapshot-based Scan on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
