Can I deploy the Agent in the cloud?

ANSWER  Yes.

The Agent is simply a Ruby script that sits on top of a Linux distribution, managing the connection between the server and the virtual machine. Therefore, you can deploy your own Linux distribution within your preferred cloud hosting provider (e.g. AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc.) either by downloading our custom OVA file and converting it, or installing a brand new image via an Ubuntu ISO file.

Refer to Deploying the Agent from an ISO for additional information on getting started.
