Who This Tool Is For
Security and platform teams scaling vulnerability management across EC2 instances, container registries, and Lambda workloads.
Why We Built This Tool
Inspector coverage expands fast in multi-account environments; image rescan and Lambda code scanning can become dominant cost drivers.
What Problem It Solves
- Coverage drift. Teams enable broad scans without understanding monthly unit economics.
- Registry churn. Frequent image pushes trigger initial scans and recurring rescans at scale.
- Lambda blind spots. Code scanning improves detection depth but changes cost per function materially.
Use alongside our CloudTrail pricing and cloud security services.
Frequently Asked Questions
What resources are included in this calculator?
EC2 instance scanning, ECR image initial scans and rescans, Lambda standard scanning, and Lambda code scanning.
Why split ECR initial and rescan costs?
Initial scans occur at image onboarding, while rescans recur over time and can dominate cost in high-churn registries.
Does Inspector charge by finding count?
No. Pricing is tied to scanning units, not the number of vulnerabilities discovered.
Is Lambda code scanning separate from standard Lambda scanning?
Yes. It is an additional charge and should be modeled separately for realistic budgets.
Are these rates global?
No. This model uses us-east-1 list rates from Amazon Inspector pricing.
Does this include remediation tooling costs?
No. Ticketing, patch orchestration, and downstream SIEM costs are outside this estimate.
