Service Mapping and Kubernetes - Patterns

[Sushil14]

Dear Experts,

I am new to Service Mapping and trying to learn more and know if the existing pattern of kubernetes cluster and other relative components discovery can be use for top-down (Service Mapping) discovery. We have some apps wherein the application services are dynamic and deployed monthly also infra CI are changing. on the top of it kubernetes cluster is also used. what I found in docs and some article that in such scenario we should use tag-based discovery and not traditional top down service mapping approach using patterns.

Can someone guide me with any ServiceNow link or related article that explain any similar scenario.

Thanks

To Start with First Run Simple Kubernetes Discovery -

(https://www.servicenow.com/community/itom-articles/kubernetes-components-discovery-using-service-now...)

Once K8 components are created then Run TAG Based Service Mapping- https://docs.servicenow.com/pt-BR/bundle/sandiego-it-service-management/page/product/service-mapping...

This is what service now also suggests .

Hi All again thanks for the suggestion. 

could you also advice how servicenow decide and populate the tagging table. can we add our custom attribute from main tables.

any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks
