Instance Enumeration
The process of retrieving or querying a list of virtual machine instances or compute instances within a cloud infrastructure. This activity provides a view of all available or running instances, typically including their associated metadata such as instance ID, name, state, and configuration details. Examples: - AWS: instance enumeration involves the `DescribeInstances` API call, which retrieves information about running or stopped EC2 instances. - Azure: VM enumeration can be monitored via the `Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/read` operation. - GCP: instance enumeration is logged as an `instance.list` operation within GCP Audit Logs. *Data Collection Measures:* - AWS CloudTrail: CloudTrail logs stored in S3 or forwarded to CloudWatch. - Azure Activity Logs: Accessible via Azure Monitor or exported to a storage account. - GCP Audit Logs: Logs Explorer or BigQuery.
