The launching of new software code, virtual machines, and other such instances can undergo one or more scans before being fully available in an electronic environment. One or more policies may apply to such a launch, which can cause the launch to first be performed under a first network configuration, wherein the instance may not be granted access to resources other than scanning infrastructure. After one or more scans are performed, the results can be compared against the policies and, if the results pass, the instance can be caused to operate in a second network configuration, whether launching a new instance in a production environment, altering the configuration of the network, or other such tasks. The policies can be set by a provider of the relevant resources, an administrator of one or more affected resources, an administrator of the instance, or another appropriate party.
