To index and profile network assets in a cloud infrastructure or in a combination of cloud and traditional infrastructure,.  This discovery type will enable you to monitor a cloud network in as much detail as a typical corporate network. Cloud Discovery leverages the service provider's APIs to create devices for all running instances. Cloud Discovery findings are reported in the same manner as all other Asset Manager discovery types.

Cloud credentials are encrypted within Asset Manager, yet are accessible to the cloud provider.  This means that all APIs that return a cloud-discovery configuration, including those that export a collector configuration or system configuration, do not include cloud credential "secrets." Rather, clientSecrets and secretKeys are reported as "null" or left empty.

Currently, Cloud Discovery uses the Scout you configure, yet the particular Scout's interface cannot be specified.
