Track every cloud asset, run targeted discovery, and act on cost/security/performance findings in one place. Screenshots use AWS as an example, but flows apply to any supported cloud.

​
What you get

  • Complete inventory across accounts with resource type filters and tags
  • On-demand and continuous discovery across AWS services
  • Inline actions to optimize cost, scan security, and check performance

​
Prerequisites

  • At least one cloud account connected (images show AWS, but any supported cloud works)
  • Tags you want to use for scoping (e.g., ENV=dev, Environment=production)

​
Quick Start

1

Open Resources

Go to Infrastructure → Resources to start discovery.
2

Select cloud & services

Choose the account, pick service types to scan, and scope with tags.
3

Review inventory

See discovered assets, savings potential, and run actions per resource.

​
How access and automation work

  • Agents can operate on any resources your cloud permissions allow, not just the ones you discovered. Discovery makes it easier to manage those resources inside CloudThinker.
  • CloudKeepers runs across all permitted resources in your cloud; it is not limited by resource discovery scope.
  • Assessment requires discovered resources first and only evaluates the resources that have been discovered.

​
Step-by-step guide

1

Launch discovery

Click Connect for your cloud (AWS shown here) and start Resource Discovery. The banner shows the flow: connect, run first scan (~30s), then automate.

2

Pick services to scan

Choose the services you want to include (names vary by cloud; AWS shown in the screenshot). Use Select All or search to narrow, then save when it matches your discovery scope.

3

Scope by tags

  • No selected tags → scan all tags/resources.
  • Selecting tags → only resources matching those tags are scanned.
Add environment tags (e.g., ENV=dev, Environment=production) or Add Custom Tag for teams/projects/cost centers to focus the crawl.

4

Review inventory and act

  • See totals, potential savings, and per-resource entries.
  • Filter by resource name, service, or category (e.g., Compute).
  • Hover Actions to run Optimize Cost, Scan Security, or Check Performance on a resource.
Use this to triage new findings and trigger targeted actions quickly.

Tips

  • Start broad, then narrow with tags to avoid missing critical resources.
  • Keep discovery configurations versioned (note which services/tags you scan).
  • After each scan, action high-value recommendations first (cost/security).
