Control: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > Workload > Discovery

Discover all AWS Well-Architected Tool workload resources and add them to the CMDB.

The Discovery control is responsible for finding resources of a specific type. It periodically searches for new resources and saves them to the CMDB. Once discovered, resources are then responsible for tracking changes to themselves through the CMDB control.

Note that Discovery and CMDB controls also use the Regions policy associated with the resource. If the region is not in AWS > Well-Architected Tool > Workload > Regions policy, the CMDB control will delete the resource from the CMDB.

This control will automatically re-run every 4 hours because AWS does not currently support real-time events for all properties of this resource type.
