After you sync your public cloud account with the Armor Management Portal (AMP), you can use the Virtual Machines screen to view the instances associated with your public cloud account.
Additionally, the Virtual Machines screen will display the security status of these instances. All instances for the synced public cloud account will be displayed; however, instances without the Anywhere agent will be labeled as Unprotected.
To sync your public cloud account with AMP, see ANYWHERE Cloud Connections.
