Options

ACortex XDR Pro per TB
BHost Insights
CCortex XDR Pro per Endpoint

Explanation

Cortex XDR Cloud per Host is the licensing model designed for cloud-native and containerized workloads, including Kubernetes deployments where the agent is deployed as a DaemonSet (running one agent pod per node). This license addresses the ephemeral and scalable nature of cloud infrastructure. 'Pro per Endpoint' is for traditional endpoints, 'Pro per TB' is for network-centric log ingestion, and 'Host Insights' is an add-on module, not a standalone deployment license.
