# Azure Datacenter discovery pattern-based discovery

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure Datacenter resources on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements

Verify the Azure discovery prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery-and-service-mapping-patterns/azure-cloud-discovery-patterns.md).

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Azure Datacenter discovery pattern.
