Supported Cloud Providers
The model for Cloud Regions and Cloud Services is segregated by account. If you discover more than one AWS Account, more than one Azure Subscription or more than one GCP Project, all the data from Cloud Region through to individual nodes within services will be clearly separated, where before it was intermingled. As a result, the keys of all CloudRegion and CloudService nodes, and many contained nodes will change, even if you only discover a single account. If you synchronize to a BMC CMDB, the identities of the corresponding CIs will also change.
The existing nodes are not deleted automatically with the application of the TKU. To remove the old nodes from the BMC Discovery model, you can delete the patterns that were deactivated by the new patterns in the TKU. However, the old CIs in the BMC CMDB will not be deleted automatically. The simplest way to remove them is to perform a resynchronization.

BMC Helix Discovery provides cloud scanning capabilities creating a dynamic, holistic view of data center infrastructure, cloud services, and their relationships. This gives visibility into how multi-cloud environments enable the digital business.
BMC Helix Discovery can discover multi-cloud environments representing a majority of the most popular public and private cloud providers and services. BMC Helix Discovery takes an agnostic approach to representing the multi-cloud assets and relationships. It can map assets and their dependencies to represent data center, public cloud, and private cloud environments. BMC performs this deep discovery in a cloud-friendly manner, leveraging APIs and agentless protocols. This allows for a holistic view of the entire IT environment, including hybrid application deployments.
The cloud discovery framework has been built with the capability to extend coverage with additional cloud vendors via monthly knowledge updates.
