CONTROLLING A DISCOVERY COMPONENT, WITHIN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT, THAT SENDS AUTHENTICATED DATA TO A DISCOVERY ENGINE OUTSIDE THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A discovery bundle component is applied in a virtual image deployed within a virtual environment, wherein the discovery bundle automatically discovers asset information about one or more application bundles applied to the virtual image. The discovery bundle component sends, to a discovery product service, the asset information wrapped with a trusted signed certificate for the discovery product service, wherein the discovery product service is located outside the virtual environment.
