Abstract
A system includes persistent storage configured to store, a mapping of computing resources provided by a remote computing system to a managed network. The system also includes an application that obtains instructions to modify a computing resource provided by the remote computing system and, based on the instructions, generates and transmits, to the remote computing system, a request to modify the computing resource. The application receives, from the remote computing system, a response indicating a modification to the computing resource and selects a discovery pattern configured to verify the modification by obtaining attributes associated therewith. The application obtains, from the remote computing system, the attributes by executing the discovery pattern and determines, based on the attributes, that the modification has been completed according to the instructions. Based on this determination, the application updates the mapping to indicate the modification and stores, in the persistent storage, the mapping as updated.
