Discovery of Azure SaaS and PaaS via Servicenow

[SNowUser11]

Hello Community,

Not using Cloud Management Plugin. We have only ServiceNow Discovery. What data collected for below both IaaS and PaaS

-Azure PaaS (Is it Service Principal credential  needed)

-Azure IaaS (Is it Service Principal credential  needed)

-Backups and Restore (tapes, libs,Netbackup etc) what credential needed?

Is this link for Azure IaaS and PaaS both without Cloud Management Plugin?

Azure Discovery

Many Thanks

 Hi SNowUser11

Yes when you are doing Cloud Discovery you will need an Permissions the Subscription/Resource Group because it's discovering on the resource level through the Azure API.

The backup solutions you mention sounds like marketplaces solutions so depending on how the are constructed you may see parts of it in Cloud Discovery, but you will probably have to use horizontal discovery and that may even fall short bc a) the solutions are meant as 'blackboxes'/managed solutiuons and you'll not get full access b) you'll need extended patterns to get all the details you may be looking for.

Best regards
Brian

Hi,

Indeed that is true. You dont need CGP aka CMP for discovering Azure and AWS.

Brian explained it all. just to add for CGP, it is used for Provisioning rather that discovery. Meaning CGP makes use of Discovery in first step to do discovery and then you can configure the Provisioning part.

Thanks,

Hi,

I doubt we support it OOB. But you can create your own pattern for this.
