I think we should add add a use case around enabling Konveyor to retrieve information about applications directly from the platform in which they are running, like deployment configuration and runtime configuration.

Again, I'm missing something about how applications are deployed in the platform.

We should also include an application discovery use case: given the coordinates of a given platform, allow the system to discover the applications deployed on it and populate the inventory accordingly.

The hub should be able to retrieve deployment and runtime information about applications and store it in canonical form, for it to be used to output potential assets in subsequent stages of the migration process.
