AWS Discovery - Resources not discovered

[pauladams]

Hello,

With the use of a "Master" AWS account, I am able to discover the different data centers and the service accounts.

I still didn't configure a MID server in the AWS and just using the Account ID, Secret Key and Access Key I was able to discover the data centers and the service accounts.

I was going through the ServiceNow docs and it is referring to the Cloud Management to discover the resources - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/madrid-it-operations-management/page/product/cloud-management-v2-...

Can you please help me understand the following

1) Is Cloud Management required to discover the resources of an AWS data center?

2) Can I discover the resources without a MID server?

3) What else do I need to discover the resources?

Thanks

Hello Pauladams,

1.After you create AWS accounts, run Discovery to discover AWS accounts and associated resources. Discovery of Amazon Web Services cloud is based on account information rather than an IP range.

2.If you are using Servicenow Istanbul onwards version then there is no need to install MIDServer.

3.Role required: aws_admin or cloud_admin

Amazon Web Services account credentials. following links are help to create creadentials.

 

credentials : -

Configure AWS and Azure credentials and to be used by the Service Account that you set up for cloud discovery.

If you find my answer worthy, then Mark it as correct/helpful.

Thanks,
