Cloud Migration Hub:Survey AWS resources in online mode

Last Updated:Mar 22, 2024

This topic describes how to use Cloud Migration Hub (CMH) to survey your resources on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in online mode.

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/ReadOnlyAccess

The details of supported resources and the relevant API reference,you can check 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.
