Add protection to PaaS assets

After you discover the PaaS assets, you can add protection to them in the Applications or PaaS tab in Cloud workload.

For RDS Custom for Oracle, RDS Custom for SQL, AWS DocumentDB, and AWS Neptune assets the add protection option is not available.

To add protection to PaaS assets

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
  2. To protect AWS RDS-supported database assets, click the Applications tab. For other PaaS assets, click the PaaS tab.
  3. Check if the asset that you want to protect has a credential.

    See View the credential name that is applied to a database..

    If the Credential name column is empty, you need to assign a credential to the asset.

    See Add credentials to a database .

  4. To add protection to an asset, select the asset and click Add protection.

    An asset must have assigned credentials to be eligible for most operations. For example, if you want to assign the asset to a protection plan or perform backup now.

  5. Select a protection plan and click Next.
  6. Review the configuration settings and click Protect.

The Redshift cluster, AWS DocumentDB, and AWS Neptune assets are not protected using a protection plan. You can protect them using policies. See Managing policies for cloud assets.
