Has anyone used the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Asset Inventory Discovery? What is the use case? Is this scalable?

Has anyone implemented Google Cloud Platform Asset Inventory Discovery as depicted here:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-it-operations-management/page/product/service-mapping/reference/gcp-resource-inventory-discovery.html

What is the use case for this?  From what I can tell, you would need a storage bucket per account and you would need to have a different Discovery schedule per account. How is this scalable to more than just a few accounts? If let's say I had 500 accounts, that would be 500 different discovery schedules and I would need a 500 storage buckets (which does cost money).   It would be great if I could use a master account and it would work for all the sub-accounts below it, utilizing just one storage bucket, but I was told that it didn't work like that...  So, what is the use case for this? Why would I ever need to do this for just one account??

Hi Fausto

I am also trying to implement resource inventory discovery for GCP as there are few resource types which are not being discovered via GCP cloud discovery.

I have around 700+ service accounts(projects in GCP). How is it possible to create a schedule per project?

Is there a way to make this serverless discovery work for all projects with one schedule and and one bucket?

can you please help with below questions -

1.how to configure organization account

2.what are the modifications needed in the pattern to use only one bucket for all the projects
