Zscaler provides automation templates for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. When Zscaler Cloud Connector is deployed, these templates always detect the latest virtual machine (VM) version. Therefore, as long as the latest automation templates are deployed, there is no action required when deploying new VMs. You can locate your current Cloud Connector VM version via AWS and Azure.
