Hello,
I'm currently running an Amazon AWS Cloud Discovery schedule, but it seems to be discovering a large number of objects. Is there a way to limit the discovery to only EC2 instances?
Thank you,
Antoine

Limit the permissions of the IAM user to only access the resources you wish to discover

Thank you @Kieran Anson for your swift response.
It appears that scheduled discovery for cloud resources operates differently from traditional CI discovery, where I would typically use the behavior functionality to deploy certain probes and limit the CIs discovered.
If I understand correctly, in the context of AWS cloud discovery, these limitations are primarily configured on the AWS side. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Correct, limiting it within the cloud provider is the easiest option
