This topic describes how to use Cloud Migration Hub (CMH) to survey your resources on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in online mode.
Video tutorial
Permission preparation
To use CMH to survey all your resources on AWS in online mode, you must provide an AWS account that is granted the read permissions on all the resources. AWS provides a system policy that allows read-only access to AWS resources. You can use this policy to grant read-only permissions to your AWS account:
arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/ReadOnlyAccessFor more information about the resource types supported for online AWS resource survey and API references, see Fields collected from AWS. If you need a policy that covers the permissions on fewer resources, you can create a custom policy based on the ReadOnlyAccess policy of AWS.
Survey resources on AWS in the CMH console
Start a survey
Log on to the CMH console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assessment > Resource Collection. On the Online Collection tab of the Resource Collection page, click Start in the Third-party Cloud Service section. In the Third-party Cloud Service dialog box, configure the Task Name, AccessKey, SecretKey, and Region parameters, and click Yes. Then, CMH starts to collect resource information in the background.
Confirm resource information
After your survey task is complete, you can click the task name to view the surveyed resources. The surveyed resources are automatically imported to CMH and are displayed in the resource list.
