Cloud autodiscovery automates the collection of data for virtual devices on Amazon AWS, Amazon API, Microsoft Azure, Linode, DigitalOcean, OpenStack, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and standalone Kubernetes.

The discovery process imports cloud virtual machines, databases, and storage as devices. These cloud assets share the same features as any other device. You can work with cloud assets to define application components, store passwords, and create custom keys just as you would for physical or virtual hardware.

Note: Available only for new signups after the 31 March, 2026 release. If you signed up earlier, refer to the existing ITAM documentation.
