   # Link Nessus to Tenable Vulnerability Management
     -
       - /opt/nessus/sbin/nessuscli
       - managed
       - link
       - --key "your Tenable Vulnerability Management linking key"
       - "--cloud"

2. Deploy Tenable Core, as described in Deploy Tenable Core in VMware.

   When you reach the Customize Template step, provide the base64 encoded user data created in step 1.

What to do next:
