service mappings for few services.

[Ramu8]

Hi Team,
I am new to service mapping. We have a requirement to build the service mappings for few services. Few services are present on premises and few are on the azure cloud. What is the approach we have to follow to map the service. When will tag based service mapping be used ??

Hi @Ramu8 Best approach for on premises  you can implement Pattern(Top Down) based mapping or traffic based mapping you will get better results. Because Tag based mapping used in Containers , virtualised server. 

In traffic based discovery by adding connections which are derived from the TCP connections in the network. 

Mark this helpful!! If this helps you to understand.
