    Summary of AWS CodeDeploy Deployment pattern-based discovery

    The AWS CodeDeploy Deployment pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to discover and map AWS CodeDeploy deployments within their cloud environment. This discovery is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application and requires the latest version for optimal performance. The pattern populates detailed deployment data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables to provide a comprehensive view of AWS CodeDeploy resources.

    Key Features

    • Pattern Activation: The AWS CodeDeploy deployment pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled. From Visibility Content version 6.28.0 onward, enabling or disabling patterns is not treated as a customization, ensuring updates are preserved during upgrades.
    • Discovery Prerequisites: Customers must verify AWS discovery prerequisites and ensure that the relevant resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate discovery.
    • Data Population: The pattern populates data in:
      • Non-CMDB tables: When running the "Amazon AWS - CodeDeploy Deployment - Extended Inventory (LP)" pattern, data about deployments is stored in AWS-specific non-CMDB tables accessible via the Configuration > AWS navigation.
      • CMDB tables: Key deployment resources are stored in the CMDB, specifically in the cmdbcicmpresource table, with attributes like Object ID (ARN), Name, Resource type, Operational status, and Install status.
    • CI Relationships and References: The pattern automatically creates relationships such as "Hosted on" linking CodeDeploy resources to AWS Datacenters. It also maintains references between deployment records and cloud resources for accurate mapping.
    • AWS Tag Discovery: The pattern collects AWS tags related to CodeDeploy deployments and stores them in the cmdbkeyvalue table, associating tags with their respective cloud resources.

    Practical Use and Benefits

    By implementing this pattern-based discovery, ServiceNow customers can:

    • Gain accurate and up-to-date visibility into AWS CodeDeploy deployments within their CMDB and extended inventory.
    • Maintain consistent and non-duplicative discovery by managing the Resource Inclusion List properly.
    • Leverage detailed tagging information for better resource classification and reporting.
    • Ensure seamless updates and pattern lifecycle management by adhering to recommended activation procedures.
    • Establish clear relationships between AWS CodeDeploy deployments and AWS datacenters, enhancing service mapping accuracy.

    This enables improved operational insight, asset management, and supports automated service management processes involving AWS CodeDeploy resources.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS CodeDeploy Deployments on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements

    Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
    For more information, see the prerequisites section in AWS discovery using patterns.
    Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table
    Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List [sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource Inclusion List, see AWS Resource Inventory discovery with Patterns.
    Enable the relevant pattern
    The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see Activate a disabled pattern.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

    Data stored in non-CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - CodeDeploy Deployment - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    You can review the non-CMDB AWS tables by navigating to All > Configuration > AWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.

    Table 1. AWS CodeDeploy Deployment [cmdb_aws_codedeploy_deployment]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Name of the CodeDeploy application associated with the deployment.
    Object ID [object_id] Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the CodeDeploy application.
    Deployment Group Name [deployment_group_name] Name of the deployment group associated with the deployment.
    Deployment ID [deployment_id] Unique identifier of the CodeDeploy deployment.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - CodeDeploy Deployment - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    Table 2. Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] ARN that uniquely identifies the CodeDeploy application.
    Name [name] Name of the CodeDeploy application associated with the deployment.
    Resource type [resource_type] Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::CodeDeployment::Deployment.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.

    CI relationships

    The Amazon AWS - CodeDeploy Deployment - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support AWS CodeDeploy Deployment discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table.

    Table 3. CI relationships
    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    Table 4. CI references
    CI Field Referenced CI
    AWS CodeDeploy Deployment [cmdb_aws_codedeploy_deployment] Configuration Item [configuration_item] Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
    Key Value [cmdb_key_value] Configuration item [configuration_item] Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]

    AWS Tag discovery

    The Amazon AWS - CodeDeploy Deployment - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.

    Table 5. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
    Field Description
    Key [key] Tag name.
    Value [value] Tag value.
    Configuration item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.
