How it works

System in context diagram of cloud scanner

Cloud scanner relies on cloud providers APIs to perform an inventory of your cloud resources. It collects information about usage (instance types, tags, CPU load or volume size).

This inventory is used to query Boavizta API which returns impact data.

Results are exposed as JSON or metrics.
