Many enterprises do not effectively manage their resources in the early days of data migration to the cloud. As their business develops, the enterprises realize that standardized management of cloud resources is necessary for their business development. As a result, the issue of how the enterprises determine the ownership of the resources arises. This topic provides several methods for reference.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Determine the ownership of resources based on their names | If you customize names for resources when you create the resources, you can easily determine the ownership of the resources based on the names, such as Business A-DEV-2020. |
| Determine the ownership of resources based on their creators | If O&M engineers use different accounts to perform operations, you can determine the ownership of resources based on the creators of the resources. You can query the creator of a resource in the ActionTrail console or by calling an ActionTrail API operation. For more information, see Query historical events in the ActionTrail console or LookupEvents. |
| Determine the ownership of resources based on their regions | If resources for different services or branches are purchased in different regions, you can determine the ownership of the resources based on the regions. You can query the region where a resource resides in the ActionTrail console or by calling an ActionTrail API operation. For more information, see Query historical events in the ActionTrail console or LookupEvents. |
| Determine the ownership of resources based on the IP addresses of service requests | If different Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks are planned for different services, you can determine the ownership based on the IP addresses of service requests. You can query the IP address of a service request in the ActionTrail console or by calling an ActionTrail API operation. For more information, see Query historical events in the ActionTrail console or LookupEvents. |
| Determine the ownership of resources based on inquiries | If you still cannot determine resource ownership by using the preceding methods, you can send resource claim notifications or sort resources with all departments or branches. |
