About

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. Using Amazon EC2 eliminates your need to invest in hardware up front, so you can develop and deploy applications faster. You can use Amazon EC2 to launch as many or as few virtual servers as you need, configure security and networking, and manage storage. Amazon EC2 enables you to scale up or down to handle changes in requirements or spikes in popularity, reducing your need to forecast traffic.

Why You Should Integrate

This integration will provide visibility into your AWS EC2 cloud instances within Sevco.

How Does the Integration Work

This integration pulls device objects from AWS EC2 that meet the following criteria.

Instances collected must be a scheduled instance and not a spot instance
If specified, instances contained within an autoscaling group

This data is only used internally; we do not share it with any parties outside of Sevco. Refer to our privacy policy for details.
