Credentials management and usage in application modernization can be implemented as computer-readable methods, media and systems. A notification identifying an application modernization operation is received. The operation is to be performed on an application deployed by multiple resources arranged in multiple hierarchical levels. A resource residing at a hierarchical level of the multiple hierarchical levels is identified. The application modernization operation is to be performed on the identified resource which has a resource type. A search for a credential is performed. The credential grants access to the resource to enable performing the application modernization operation. In response to the searching, a credential included in the multiple credentials is identified. The identified credential grants access either to the resource or to resources of the resource type. In response to receiving the notification, the identified credential is provided.

An example method includes: executing, by application analysis software executing in the virtualized computing system, process discovery agents on the VMs; receiving, at the application analysis software from the process discovery agents, process metadata describing processes executing on the VMs; generating signatures for the processes based on the process metadata; determining components of an application based on the signatures; determining components of an application based on the signatures; identifying, for a first component of the components, a component-specific metadata collector; executing, by the application analysis software, the component-specific metadata collector on a first VM of the VMs; and receiving, at the application analysis software from the component-specific metadata collector, custom metadata further describing a first process of the processes associated with the first component.
