Defender for Cloud collects data from your Azure virtual machines (VMs), Virtual Machine Scale Sets, IaaS containers, and non-Azure computers (including on-premises machines) to monitor for security vulnerabilities and threats. The Log Analytics agent collects data, which reads various security-related configurations and event logs from the machine and copies the data to your workspace for analysis.

> AWS charges for retention of disk snapshots. The Defender for Cloud scanning process actively tries to minimize the period during which a snapshot is stored in your account (typically up to a few minutes). AWS might charge an overhead cost for the disk snapshots storage. Check with AWS to see what costs apply to you.

Disk snapshots are created with the 'CreatedBy' tag key, and the 'Microsoft Defender for Cloud' tag value. The 'CreatedBy' tag tracks who created the resource. Learn how to [activate the 'CreatedBy' tag in AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/activate-built-in-tags.html).

You need to [activate the tags in the Billing and Cost Management console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/activate-built-in-tags.html). It can take up to 24 hours for tags to activate. AWS generates a cost allocation report as a comma-separated value (.CSV file) with your usage and costs grouped by your active tags.
