What is the purpose of OCI's Resource Discovery feature?

The purpose of OCI's Resource Discovery feature is to facilitate the identification and discovery of existing resources within an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure environment along with their configurations. This feature allows organizations to have a comprehensive view of what resources they have deployed, which is critical for effective infrastructure management and governance. By using Resource Discovery, you can easily locate resources such as compute instances, storage volumes, and network configurations, enabling better planning, optimization, and overall resource management.

This ability to find existing resources is essential for administrators who need to understand their cloud architecture, perform audits, or ensure compliance with policies. It also aids in troubleshooting by allowing users to quickly verify resource configurations and dependencies.
