A vDiscovery job retrieves information about virtual entities in cloud environments that are managed through a cloud management platform, (CMP) such as GCP. The current vDiscovery feature supports tenants, networks, and compute VMs only. It does not support data that is retrieved from load balancer networks, load balancer VMs, Kubernetes platform VMs, application gateways, service VMs, SQL VMs, or any other VMs that are created by cloud services, such as Kubernetes service or analytics service, where the IPAM is handled by the respective orchestration engines of the cloud provider.
