Abstract
Techniques are disclosed herein for extending a cloud service's reach into on- or off-premises environments and other cloud platforms to enable migration and multi-cloud use cases. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is provided that includes deploying a remote agent appliance with a discovery plugin in an external environment of a user, creating an asset source specifying a location of the external environment from which external assets and associated asset metadata should be discovered, generating a discovery job for the purpose of retrieving the asset metadata for the external assets discovered within the asset source, executing, using the discovery plugin, the discovery job to discover and retrieve the external assets and the associated asset metadata within the asset source, and providing a collection of assets that includes the asset metadata for the external assets as at least part of an inventory to the user.
