Cloud Context Enrichment: Add a Context Integration vs. Deploying Cloud Function

AWS, Azure, and GCP have 2 options for how to enrich asset context.

Option 1: Add a context integration in Fusion Portal

You give permission in your cloud account(s) for Netography to read asset meta-data from it, and then add a context integration for that cloud account in Fusion to retrieve that information. After configuring permissions in your cloud, the configuration and data gathering occurs from the Netography Fusion SaaS to your cloud accounts. You will need to add and configure 1 context integration in Fusion per AWS account, Azure subscription, or GCP project.

Option 2: Deploy a cloud function with Netography's Cloud onboarding automation via Terraform

You deploy the Netography cloud onboarding automation using Terraform, which configures all the permissions required and creates a cloud function that runs within your cloud on a scheduled basis. That function gathers all the asset meta-data locally within your cloud, and then uploads the data via the Netography Fusion API. Netography never has any permission to directly access and read the asset meta-data in your cloud in this option. You can deploy this automation one time for each AWS organization, Azure tenant, or GCP organization, making it a more easily scalable solution for larger environments. For more details on this option, access Netography's Terraform automation at our GitHub repo: https://github.com/netography/neto-onboarding. For access to the repo, email your GitHub ID to [email protected].
