Installation Prerequisites
Windows Installation Prerequisites for Agent
You can download the Windows installer file in your assessment from the Agent Setup > Assess tab. You can download the MSI file or copy the command to be run from an elevated command prompt. The command pictured below shows options for a proxy server with authentication required. These options are also available in the MSI file but not required to install the agent.

Access to our servers at am.cloudamize.com for US infrastructure and am-de.cloudamize.com for EU infrastructure over port 443 directly or through a corporate proxy.
If your system locally caches DNS resolution, you may need to resolve am.cloudamize.com to 35.171.170.26 / 52.206.224.238 or am-de.cloudamize.com to 18.194.12.63 to allow egress traffic.
32 or 64-bit Windows Server 2012 or higher

Windows Installation Prerequisites for Agentless Data Collector
The table below lists the relevant ports for machine discovery and communication to the Cloudamize servers. Please note the following rules for each class of machine:
Machine with Cloudamize Agentless Data Collector installed:
TCP port 445 open inbound from remote Windows hosts added to Cloudamize Agentless Data Collector
Access to our servers at am.cloudamize.com for US infrastructure and am-de.cloudamize.com for EU infrastructure over port 443 directly or through a corporate proxy.
If your system locally caches DNS resolution, you may need to resolve am.cloudamize.com to 35.171.170.26 or am-de.cloudamize.com to 18.194.12.63 to allow egress traffic.
Each Windows endpoint:
TCP port 445 open outbound to the machine with the Agentless Data Collector installed
TCP ports 135 and the dynamic RPC port ranges open inbound, appropriate for your OS versions:
Windows Server 2008 and later: TCP ports 49152 to 65535 open inbound
Windows Server 2003 and earlier: TCP ports 1025 to 5000 open inbound
Each Linux endpoint:
TCP port 22 open inbound
Protocol | Port | Usage |
TCP | 22 | SSH to access Linux servers |
TCP | 135 | Windows RPC |
TCP | 445 | Microsoft-DS Active Directory and SMB, Windows shares |
TCP | 1025-5000 | RPC dynamic port range for Windows Server 2003 and earlier |
TCP | 49152-65535 | RPC dynamic port range for Windows Server 2008 and later |
TCP | 443 | SSL to communicate with the Cloudamize servers |

Authentication requirements to machines from an Agentless Data Collector
Windows machines require an account in the Administrators group (Domain Admin Account)
Linux machines require Root or Wheel access
All other Windows and Linux system requirements apply
Minimum System Requirements for Agentless Installer
The Cloudamize Agentless Data Collector will need to be installed on a physical or virtual Windows machine meeting the following minimum requirements (based on monitoring 500 machines - please consider scaling if the Agentless Data Collector has its node limit increased):
64-bit Windows Server 2012 or higher
.NET framework version 4.0
4 CPU cores
8 GB RAM
5 GB persistent storage
Powershell v5.1 (If SQL data is required)
Note: The agentless data collector runs obfuscated code which is susceptible to AV quarantine. The installer should be whitelisted or run on a VM without AV running if possible.
Linux Installation Prerequisites for Agent
You can access the Linux installer command and customer key in your assessment from the Agent Setup > Assess tab. The command pictured below shows options for a proxy server with authentication required. These options are not required and can be installed without a corporate proxy provided port 443 is open to our data collection server.

The Install script requires wget to retrieve content, and curl to test/verify access to our data collection servers at am.cloudamize.com for US infrastructure and am-de.cloudamize.com for EU infrastructure over port 443, either directly or through a corporate proxy.
If your system locally caches DNS resolution, you may need to resolve am.cloudamize.com to 35.171.170.26 or am-de.cloudamize.com to 18.194.12.63 to allow egress traffic.
Root and/or wheel access
One of the following OSes:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 or higher
Oracle Linux 6.5 or higher
Ubuntu 16.04 or higher
CentOS release 7 or higher
Debian GNU/Linux 8.0 or higher
Amazon Linux AMI release 2013.03 or higher
Fedora release 12 or higher
Suse Linux 11 or higher
A supported version of OpenSSL
350 MB persistent storage
The Cloudamize Linux Agent requires 3% of CPU and 5% of memory while running.
Linux installation and troubleshooting Procedures can be found here.
vCenter Proxy Installation Prerequisites
64-bit Windows Server 2003 R2 or higher
.NET framework version 4.0
4 CPU cores
5 GB RAM
2 GB persistent storage
Access to vCenter appliance over port SSL Port 443
Access to Cloudamize vCenter data collection server (184.73.183.154) using SSL over a supported port (default port 444, 80 or 22)
Note: No software is installed directly on vCenter. The only requirements are the requisite open ports for the Cloudamize Proxy or Cloudamize application to connect directly. A direct connection is only possible if a vCenter is on a public IP Address and internet-facing.
vCenter Installation, access tests, and troubleshooting documentation can be found here.
Hyper-V Installation Prerequisites
32 or 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher
.NET framework version 2.0
4 CPU cores
5 GB RAM
2 GB persistent storage
Access to our collection servers at am.cloudamize.com for US infrastructure and am-de.cloudamize.com for EU infrastructure over port 443, either directly or through a corporate proxy.
If your system locally caches DNS resolution, you may need to resolve am.cloudamize.com to 35.171.170.26 or am-de.cloudamize.com to 18.194.12.63 to allow egress traffic.
