Cloud region


Cloud providers usually divide their cloud into geographic regions. A cloud region object in BMC Discovery represents a geographical region provided by a cloud provider. Cloud regions are specific to cloud providers. All cloud region objects are set up automatically by the BMC Discovery process.

Cloud Regions and Cloud Services are segregated by account. If you discover more than one AWS Account, Azure Subscription, or GCP Project, the data from Cloud Region through to individual nodes within services will be clearly separated, by account/subscription/project.

For example, in AWS, if you have red, green, and blue accounts in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region, the inferred model will contain the following Cloud Regions:

  • AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) : red
  • AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) : green
  • AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) : blue
