Azure Security Center and Qualys
markus_pitkaranta, the recommendation you've clicked ("Vulnerability assessment solution should be installed on your virtual machines") predates the Ignite announcement. It's the ASC recommendation to setup a vulnerability assessment solution on your VMs.
The Qualys powered extension announced at Ignite is deployed through a new recommendation as described in the new documentation page Integrated vulnerability scanner for virtual machines (Standard tier only).
Incidentally, the relevant recommendation "Enable the built-in vulnerability assessment solution on virtual machines (powered by Qualys)".
Note that the new recommendation is being rolled out gradually so it may not appear in your subscription yet.
I hope this helps.

melvynadam, thanks! That clarifies it. In my case, I can see the "new" recommendation in ASC but the status is "N/A". And when I open it, the "Remediate" button is greyed out. But maybe it's because it's being rolled out gradually, as you mentioned.
