Hi All,
Need your guidance in AWS Cloud discovery.
We have started moving from On-Prem--> Cloud [AWS]. As per the documentation, we are created below credentials
1. AWS Service Account , 2. AWS credentials.
We have created AWS job schedule and are able to discover the cloud resources. But currently we do have 500+ Server Cis but we are unable to discovery Server CIs[Windows/Linux] as part of this job schedule.
Questions:
1. To discovery the Server CIs[Windows/Linux], Do we need to inform Cloud Ops team to congifure our windows/Linux Credentails in each ec2 instance? Currently in On-Prem, whenever the server is built, the server Build team will configure our windows/Linux credentials in each machine respectively.
Note: our Mid Server is installed in the Cloud.
Please let me know if i am missing any configuration steps.
Regards,
Anitha.

to do a horizontal discovery of servers located on prem or Cloud you need CREDS working for that server just the way we do it for a normal DC discovery.

Hi Rahul,
Thanks for the prompt response.
So we need to make sure Cloud Ops team configures our windows/Linux Credentials in each EC2 CIs. ?
One more quick question, In Cloud infrastructure, respective teams create EC2 just like that, how does our credentials are placed in each EC2 instance. Need your kind explanation.
Regards,
Anitha

Conceptually just like windows Admin have access on all servers for administration work similarly you need a service account for horizontal discovery. This can be done using AD and security policies.
EC2 instances at OS layer nothing but Windows or Linux VMs .

Hi,
Once you create a cloud discovery schedule you will have an option to discover the VM's by IP Address. If you select this option, 2 schedules will be created - 1 for discovering the Cloud Resources like VM's, Databases, RDS, S3 buckets, EBS volumes, EFS etc.) and the other for discovering the servers(EC2 Instances) as CI's.
For the first schedule, you just need an AWS programmatic access keys and secret keys. But for the second schedule(discovering the EC2 instances as CI's) all the on prem discovery prerequisites like firewall clearance, credentials rollouts should be in place. Hope this helps.

BV
