AWS Discovery and Service Mapping
Looking for a way to include AWS assets in the CMDB to extend your ITSM processes to the cloud? How about application dependency and service mapping across AWS and on-premise assets? Virima has you covered. Virima easily and seamlessly integrates with AWS to make your cloud resources available in the CMDB while also providing the full ViVID Service Mapping experience.
Benefits of AWS Integration
Experience the ViVID Difference
When used with Virima ITSM or integrated with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow, Ivanti/Cherwell, HaloITSM, and Jira Service Management, Virima’s auto-generated relationship maps are combined with ITSM records to form the Virima Visual Impact Display (ViVID). ViVID greatly helps eliminate the guesswork of what could be affected by a change or identifying the root cause of an incident.
Truly simple integration
Configuring AWS integration is done via the Virima user interface. No back-end coding or third-party software needed. Simply enter your AWS credentials and select which AWS objects from your AWS account to import.
Full control of what goes into the CMDB
Once the AWS assets are imported, they become viewable in Virima as “Discovered Assets”. From here you choose which to move to the CMDB. Flexible sorting features allow you to be as selective and precise as you choose. Of course, the entire move to CMDB process can be automated through granular business rules.
Maintain a complete CMDB
Now AWS assets can be managed alongside other assets for more complete IT asset management (ITAM) and linked to IT service management (ITSM) processes to help take the risk out of change and recover faster from incidents.
AWS VPC
AWS Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is the foundation of any AWS environment. Each VPC contains Relational Database Service (RDS) and EC2 instances. VPC’s also control things like network connectivity and security policies. Given how much Amazon VPC’s do, it’s critical to have all this information in your CMDB.
AWS EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances host the Windows and Linux server operating systems that run your critical applications. Virima automatically imports EC2 instances and makes the connections to VPC’s, security groups, Amazon Machine Images (AMI) and much more.
Server OS Details
With the AWS resources in the CMDB, it’s time to run Virima Discovery which provides OS details for each EC2 instance including compute resources, installed software, patches and hard drives.
Automatic relationship and dependency mapping
Virima’s machine learning also provides relationship details about each VPC as well as server to server
communications, application dependencies and service topologies. These auto-generated relationships, which can be further enhanced with human intelligence, are represented within ViVID Service Maps.

Build a CMDB
Do you feel like CMDB (configuration management database) is a puzzle you can’t solve because there’s no automatic way to build and maintain it?
Manage cloud environments
Is what’s running in the cloud a little too foggy? Deploying applications to the cloud saves money and allows for more rapid deployments. But managing
