/**
* Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service
*
* Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service helps you plan application migration projects. It automatically
* identifies servers, virtual machines (VMs), and network dependencies in your on-premises data centers. For more
* information, see the Amazon Web Services Application
* Discovery Service FAQ. Application Discovery Service offers three ways of performing discovery and collecting
* data about your on-premises servers:
*
*
* -
*
* Agentless discovery is recommended for environments that use VMware vCenter Server. This mode doesn't require
* you to install an agent on each host. It does not work in non-VMware environments.
*
*
* -
*
* Agentless discovery gathers server information regardless of the operating systems, which minimizes the time required
* for initial on-premises infrastructure assessment.
*
*
* -
*
* Agentless discovery doesn't collect information about network dependencies, only agent-based discovery collects that
* information.
*
*
*
*
*
*
* -
*
* Agent-based discovery collects a richer set of data than agentless discovery by using the Amazon Web Services
* Application Discovery Agent, which you install on one or more hosts in your data center.
*
*
* -
*
* The agent captures infrastructure and application information, including an inventory of running processes, system
* performance information, resource utilization, and network dependencies.
*
*
* -
*
* The information collected by agents is secured at rest and in transit to the Application Discovery Service database
* in the cloud.
*
*
*
*
*
*
* -
*
* Amazon Web Services Partner Network (APN) solutions integrate with Application Discovery Service, enabling you
* to import details of your on-premises environment directly into Migration Hub without using the discovery connector
* or discovery agent.
*
*
* -
*
* Third-party application discovery tools can query Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service, and they can
* write to the Application Discovery Service database using the public API.
*
*
* -
*
* In this way, you can import data into Migration Hub and view it, so that you can associate applications with servers
* and track migrations.
*
*
*
*
*
*
* Recommendations
*
*
* We recommend that you use agent-based discovery for non-VMware environments, and whenever you want to collect
* information about network dependencies. You can run agent-based and agentless discovery simultaneously. Use agentless
* discovery to complete the initial infrastructure assessment quickly, and then install agents on select hosts to
* collect additional information.
*
*
* Working With This Guide
*
*
* This API reference provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types for
* Application Discovery Service. The topic for each action shows the API request parameters and the response.
* Alternatively, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to access an API that is tailored to the programming
* language or platform that you're using. For more information, see Amazon
* Web Services SDKs.
*
*
*
* -
*
* Remember that you must set your Migration Hub home region before you call any of these APIs.
*
*
* -
*
* You must make API calls for write actions (create, notify, associate, disassociate, import, or put) while in your
* home region, or a HomeRegionNotSetException error is returned.
*
*
* -
*
* API calls for read actions (list, describe, stop, and delete) are permitted outside of your home region.
*
*
* -
*
* Although it is unlikely, the Migration Hub home region could change. If you call APIs outside the home region, an
* InvalidInputException is returned.
*
*
* -
*
* You must call GetHomeRegion to obtain the latest Migration Hub home region.
*
*
*
*
*
* This guide is intended for use with the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery
* Service User Guide.
*
*
*
* All data is handled according to the Amazon Web Services Privacy Policy.
* You can operate Application Discovery Service offline to inspect collected data before it is shared with the service.
