Managing External Asset Discovery
In Oracle Cloud Migrations, asset discovery identifies and collects the metadata for the assets from the external environment. It then represents the relevant metadata in the inventory assets to facilitate the migration process.
The discovery process collects historical metrics to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure inventory and real-time metrics to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure monitoring. This data helps in providing meaningful suggestions for sizes of migrated assets based on the current usage of assets. In case of AWS migration, AWS Costs Explorer allows OCI to compare costs between AWS and OCI.
Note
- Enabling metric collection utilizes the Amazon CloudWatch service which is a chargeable resource.
- When Enable collection of real-time metrics is enabled, the metrics are automatically collected once per hour. When Enable collection of historical metrics is enabled, the metrics are automatically collected once per day. Metrics are also collected when a discovery job is run.

- Creating an Asset Source
- Creating and Asset Source - AWS
