With Amazon Inspector, there are no upfront investments required, no additional software licenses or maintenance fees, and no need to purchase expensive hardware. You only pay for what you use, and it provides the flexibility to support popular use cases like continuous deployment or auto scaling, where per-host or per-IP licensing models can be difficult to manage. Amazon Inspector includes a 90-day free trial.
