Manage Instances
You can manage instances with the following steps:
- Launch the Instance using any of the following methods:
- Use the wizard for instance settings.
- Track the progress through Qualys Scanner Console.
- Perform post-launch actions.
- 1 OCPU on x86 (AMD and Intel) = 2 vCPUs, as Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is enabled by default in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
- From qVSA version 3.10.X onwards, the scanner VM size max limit of 16 cores and 16 GB RAM is removed.
- Qualys recommends disabling SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) for scanner deployments.
- The minimum instance size supported for a Qualys scanner using the qVSA image version 4.1 or higher is at least 2 GB of RAM.
