The latest release introduces the QVSA Terraform Templates, an innovative automation tool for the efficient management of Scanner Virtual Machines (VMs) within various Cloud Platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. This template helps simplify the processes of creating and managing scanner VMs across these cloud platforms.

The QVSA Terraform template now includes the following capabilities in its latest release:

  • Creation of Scanner VMs
    Seamlessly deploy scanner VMs on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Starting Scanner VMs
    Effortlessly initiate scanner VMs, bringing them to an operational state.
  • Stopping Scanner VMs
    Conveniently halt active scanner VMs without removing them.

Setting Up Terraform Templates: Platform-Specific Instructions

To use the Terraform templates for each platform, please refer to the individual platform-specific README files for detailed setup instructions and configuration guidance.

 

  • Availability of scanners in cloud marketplaces depends on cloud vendors and typically takes a few weeks after general availability from Qualys.
  • Automation is not limited to the platforms listed above. In the upcoming releases, it will be available for other supported virtualization platforms that support Terraform.
