Works as advertised, easy to setup and automate with CloudFormation
I saw some negative reviews here, and that sparked me to write one to clear up misconceptions that I too had that frustrated me with this AMI until I better understood the process. This is not a Nessus instance in that you cannot connect to it to manage it directly and it does not serve any web interface. Instead, this instance is a cloud scanner that will perform scans on items in the same VPC it is installed into, as directed by the Tenable.io website. As part of the instantiation process, once must provide UserData to link the cloud website with this scanner, and then it is controlled completely from the Tenable.io portal.
Once subscribed to it can we unsubscribe once work is done?
