## Features on virtual clusters

Virtual clusters inherit the host's license entitlements, but not every cluster feature applies to a virtual cluster. Refer to [feature availability on virtual clusters](/docs/continuum/virtual-clusters#feature-availability-on-virtual-clusters).

## Aegis availability

[Cockroach Aegis](/docs/continuum/aegis-overview) is in private preview and requires sign-up and opt-in. It can monitor CockroachDB Cloud and self-hosted clusters, whether or not they use Continuum. Enrollment is separate from selecting a Continuum edition or add-on.

For prerequisites and deployment requirements, see [How do I connect a cluster?](/docs/continuum/aegis-security-and-data-access#how-do-i-connect-a-cluster).
