After you add a third-party asset source to Bastionhost, Bastionhost can call the operation that is provided by the third-party asset source to obtain the hosts that belong to the third-party asset source. You can import the hosts from the third-party asset source to Bastionhost and perform O&M operations on the hosts. This topic describes how to manage third-party asset sources.

Prerequisites

  • An asset source that is created by a third-party service provider is used, and hosts are added to the asset source.
  • The access credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) of the third-party asset source are obtained, and the access credentials have the read permissions on host information. For more information, see the official documentation of the third-party service provider.
Note Only some third-party asset sources are supported. If you want to import assets from other third-party asset sources, you can join the DingTalk group numbered 33797269 to consult technical experts.
