AWS Cloud Resorces discovered

RGreene · Wednesday

Is there a chart or list of what AWS Cloud Resorces discovered via
Cloud Discovery
Cloud Event Discovery
AWS SGC

I have been searching I have found statements that Cloud Discovery discoveries mor Cloud Resources than SGC, but I have been unable to find what resources are discovered via each one.

We are attempting to optimize our cloud Discovery and lessen the load on our instance.

Unfortunately, that capability matrix is dated, and no longer represents the capabilities of AWS discovery and does not even mention Cloud Event Discovery capabilities.

I assume you are refering to Event-Driven discovery for AWS? If so my understanding is any CI that you have Discovery from within your AWS enviroments can be brought in scope. The resources that are in scope will be defined within AWS CloudWatch. When events are generated, if a CI exists within the CMDB and it meets the predefined criteria the CI will be updated.

In short, use AWS SGC and/or Cloud Discovery to Ingest your CIs and update on a regular schedule. Where visibility is needed of CI changes in real time leverage event-driven discovery.

I hope this helps!
