Deploy Qualys Virtual Scanner using Terraform Automation Templates
Terraform Templates allow you to construct, modify, and track your infrastructure using code in a secure and efficient manner. This includes basic elements such as computing resources, storage, and networking, as well as advanced elements like DNS records and SaaS functionalities.
QVSA Terraform Templates is an innovative automation tool for the efficient management of Scanner Virtual Machines (VMs) within various Cloud Platforms. This template helps simplify the processes of creating and managing scanner VMs across the AWS platform.
The Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance deployment utilizes a shell wrapper to generate personalization codes with Terraform automation. This process automates the scanner's creation and configuration in a cloud environment, using Terraform scripts to provision the required infrastructure.
Prerequisites
Windows Users need to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Refer to the official WSL Installation Guide.
Shell scripts are natively supported on Linux and MAC operating systems; there is no need for additional installation.
Terraform Installation
Ensure Terraform is installed and configured on your system.
For installation instructions, refer to the official website, Terraform Installation Instructions.
Once you install Terraform, proceed with the Scanner deployment.
For deploying the Scanner, refer to the GitHub Repository for VMware. All detailed instructions are shared in the readme.md file in the Terraform template.
