This listing is offered at no charge across all options. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, billed by the hour. The instance types span many families and sizes, including general purpose, compute, memory, and storage-focused instances, plus bare metal variants. You pick the dimension that matches the instance where you run the agent. Since the software is free, the hourly rate applies only to the underlying EC2 usage, not the agent itself. Larger or specialized instances simply reflect the AWS hardware you select, not a difference in software cost.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly dimension actually charge me for?
Each dimension maps to a single AWS EC2 instance type where you run the Cloud Agent. The agent software is free, so the hourly rate reflects only the underlying EC2 compute you select. You pick the dimension matching your instance family and size.
Am I charged when the EC2 instance running the agent is stopped?
The agent software carries no charge in any state. Hourly metering follows the underlying EC2 instance. A fully stopped instance stops accruing compute-hour charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but no software charge applies at any time.
What is included with the Cloud Agent beyond the free listing itself?
Subscriptions include access to Cloud Platform Apps, asset inventory, unlimited scans, and unlimited Cloud Agents for inventory. Free training and 24/7 customer and technical support are also included. Broader capabilities like vulnerability management depend on the apps and licenses you select separately.
