Flexibility of TotalCloud with Qualys Units (QLU)
Pricing is based on the number of resource units used. The resource unit count refers to compute units in the cloud: virtual machines, serverless, and container images. The QLU count variations within TotalCloud are due to inherent differences in the modules' functionality, complexity, and overall value propositions.
