# AWS sub account Organizations

# AWS sub account Organizations pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated June 16, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS sub-accounts in your organization on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements {#aws-sub-account-organization-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [AWS discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NFaTlkGaSxMWb2bQPsCnCA "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Amazon AWS Cloud deployment during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
:   Discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an AWS service account. For more information, see [Create AWS service accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vpueuFRHMWLNi6dzsJv94A "Create AWS service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your AWS account during AWS discovery.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#aws-sub-account-organization-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Sub Account (LP) pattern.
