We’d like to hear from you!

Hello documentation team,

the statement "The virtual machine can be an Amazon EC2 instance, Amazon EKS cluster, Azure virtual machine, or Azure Kubernetes Service cluster. " is confusing to me. Secure Agent can be installed only on virtual machines and hence Amazon EC2 if on AWS or Azure virtual machine if on Azure.

Regards,

Alessio

Thank you, Alessio!

We've confirmed with our development team that you are correct. The agent has to be installed on a virtual machine, not within any cluster as a container. We'll clarify this in the documentation in an upcoming release.
