EC2 Scan & AWS Estate Discovery
Pending engineer validation
This page describes the combined "Both" scan option confirmed to exist in the DMC UI (see the "Select AWS scan type" screen). The exact wizard flow after selecting "Both" has not yet been walked and screenshotted. Prerequisites below are combined from the EC2 Scan and AWS Estate Discovery pages; confirm with Engineering before treating this as a complete walkthrough.
The Both option in DMC runs an EC2 Scan and an AWS Estate Discovery together in a single pass, giving Dr Migrate in-guest server data, CloudWatch metrics, and a complete AWS resource and cost inventory without a second scan run.
Before you start¶
Complete all prerequisites from both the EC2 Scan and AWS Estate Discovery pages before proceeding:
- A collector host inside your AWS environment (Windows, outbound HTTPS 443 to AWS service endpoints)
- A collector identity (IAM role) with permission to assume the scan role in each target account
- A scan role in every target account, combining the EC2 Scan and AWS Estate Discovery permissions policies
- One in-server access method configured (SSM recommended, or SSH/WinRM) for EC2 Scan
- AWS Config and Cost Explorer enabled for Estate Discovery
- Admin-level credentials for target servers (EC2 Scan only)
Running the scan¶
On the DMC main screen, select AWS, then select Both when prompted to choose a scan type. Wizard step names, screen order, and exact button labels are pending engineer confirmation. Do not treat this as a complete walkthrough until the callout above is removed.
