/**
* AWS Application Discovery Service
*
* AWS Application Discovery Service helps you plan application migration projects by automatically identifying servers,
* virtual machines (VMs), software, and software dependencies running in your on-premises data centers. Application
* Discovery Service also collects application performance data, which can help you assess the outcome of your
* migration. The data collected by Application Discovery Service is securely retained in an AWS-hosted and managed
* database in the cloud. You can export the data as a CSV or XML file into your preferred visualization tool or
* cloud-migration solution to plan your migration. For more information, see AWS Application Discovery Service FAQ.
*
*
* Application Discovery Service offers two modes of operation:
*
*
* -
*
* Agentless discovery mode is recommended for environments that use VMware vCenter Server. This mode doesn't
* require you to install an agent on each host. 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 software and software dependencies. It also doesn't work in non-VMware
* environments.
*
*
* -
*
* Agent-based discovery mode collects a richer set of data than agentless discovery by using the AWS 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 installed software applications, system and process performance,
* resource utilization, and network dependencies between workloads. The information collected by agents is secured at
* rest and in transit to the Application Discovery Service database in the cloud.
*
*
*
*
* We recommend that you use agent-based discovery for non-VMware environments and to collect information about software
* and software dependencies. You can also run agent-based and agentless discovery simultaneously. Use agentless
* discovery to quickly complete the initial infrastructure assessment and then install agents on select hosts.
*
*
* Application Discovery Service integrates with application discovery solutions from AWS Partner Network (APN)
* partners. Third-party application discovery tools can query Application Discovery Service and write to the
* Application Discovery Service database using a public API. You can then import the data into either a visualization
* tool or cloud-migration solution.
*
*
*
* Application Discovery Service doesn't gather sensitive information. All data is handled according to the AWS Privacy Policy. You can operate Application Discovery Service offline
* to inspect collected data before it is shared with the service.
*
*
*
* 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 AWS SDKs to access an API that is tailored to the programming language or
* platform that you're using. For more information, see AWS SDKs.

* AWS Application Discovery Service User Guide .
