Abstract
Techniques are described for providing an access control list (ACL) assisted process for filtering the analysis and display of dependency relationships among software application components (e.g., packages, files, classes, etc.), e.g., as part of modernization processes aimed at decomposing monolithic applications, identifying anti-patterns, or otherwise analyzing such applications. A software modernization service of a cloud provider network provides discovery agents and other tools that are capable of creating an inventory of users' software applications and collecting application artifacts (e.g., source code or bytecode files) associated with the software applications in users' computing environments. Various techniques are described for using ACLs containing entries enabling or disabling the analysis or display of various application components to customize various modernization processes and results displays.
