Abstract
An illustrative method for operating an agent configuration may include providing an unprivileged agentless workload scanning configuration to collect non-runtime workload data associated with a workload deployed within a cloud environment, determining one or more properties of the workload based on the non-runtime workload data, and performing an operation with respect to a privileged agent configuration deployed within the cloud environment and configured to collect runtime workload data associated with the workload. Likewise, an illustrative method for operating an agentless configuration may include providing a privileged agent configuration to collect runtime workload data associated with a workload deployed within a cloud environment, determining one or more properties of the workload based on the runtime workload data, and performing an operation with respect to an unprivileged agentless scanning configuration deployed within the cloud environment and configured to collect non-runtime workload data associated with the workload.
