BMC Discovery can discover multi-cloud environments representing a majority of the most popular public and private cloud providers and services. BMC 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. Connections to the cloud vendor's API are always over HTTPS to published endpoInts. This allows for a holistic view of the entire IT environment, including hybrid application deployments. You can discover and configure cloud services in the UI from the Administration > Cloud Providers option.

The cloud discovery framework has been built with the capability to extend coverage with additional cloud vendors via monthly knowledge updates.

See this video (12:15) for a demonstration of discovered cloud services in BMC Discovery.
