Cloud network constructs
The networking objects inside a public cloud account: virtual networks (VPC on AWS (opens in a new tab), VNet on Azure (opens in a new tab)), subnets, route tables, security groups, gateways, transit gateways and VPN connections.
In REAP
Read with read-only cloud roles for AWS (opens in a new tab) and Azure (opens in a new tab) today, so hybrid paths between a site and a cloud workload can be traced and verified; GCP (opens in a new tab) network discovery is not available today.
