A computing system includes a persistent storage configured to store, as one or more configuration items and on behalf of a managed network, a table of resources provided by a remote computing system to the managed network. The computing system includes a discovery application configured to perform operations. The operations include querying a resource manager application programming interface (API) to identify resources within the remote computing system. The remote computing system is configured to generate a resource inventory file and store the resource inventory file within a storage bucket in response to the query. The resource inventory file contains a list of resources and attributes. The operations also include polling the storage bucket to determine when the resource inventory file has been fully written. In addition, the operations include parsing the resource inventory file to generate representations of the resources. Further, the operations include storing the representations in the table.
