Overview
The Qualys Gateway Service Appliance extends the reach of the Qualys Cloud Platform's integrated suite of security and compliance SaaS applications into the internal networks of both Amazon VPC and EC2-Classic. The QGS appliance provides caching and proxy services for your Cloud Agents, Virtual Scanner and Passive Sensors hosted on Amazon infrastructure, so that your VPC, EC2 Instances and other AWS artefacts can be assessed at close range from trusted devices under your control and protected by your EC2/VPC Security Groups. Customers configure and operate all of the QGS's security services from their Qualys (SaaS) account via a secure web interface.
Each instance of the Qualys Gateway Service Appliance must be associated with a valid Qualys (SaaS) subscription in order to function. It is available for use by licensed Qualys customers and trial users.
Highlights
- Flexibility: Qualys Cloud Agent, Scanner and Passive Sensor solutions can all backhaul data to the Qualys platform using this single virtual appliance.
- Ease of deployment: Touchless provisioning through the AWS Management Console, with some manual configuration via the UI.
- Security: Operation of the virtual appliance within your own EC2 Security Group definitions allows for programmatic Instance-based traffic control during highly-sensitive scanning operations.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Usage Instructions: This AMI is only functional when associated with a subscription to the Qualys (SaaS) service. A QGS Personalization Code, obtained from your Qualys subscription, must be input as a property during the launch of your new instance.
To communicate with the QGS appliance, use the AWS EC2 Connect feature. The scanner communicates outbound to the Qualys Cloud Platform via an SSL-encrypted channel on port 443. All functionality is managed from your QualyGuard (SaaS) account after scanner deployment.
