- heldsteel7 5y agoThe AWS Application discovery is for on-premise server inventory. This information is used as base for on-premise to cloud migration. CloudYali, on other hand does the Cloud resource discovery. The cloud resources include EC2 instances, RDS, Lambda functions, CA Certificates and many more. CloudYali, is comparable to asset inventory functionality of AWS Config. In fact the limitations of AWS Config and similar such tools prompted us to write this service. I had previously collected information of such tools in a blog post: https://heldsteel7.medium.com/aws-cloud-scanners-10024e4bb16f https://heldsteel7.medium.com/aws-cloud-scanners-10024e4bb16... The problem, with AWS Config and other tools is that the coverage is very minimal. In fact AWS Config supports only ~100 cloud resources. Considering that Cloud resource inventory is basis of security (resource misconfigurations), cost (orphaned/unused resources), it is critical that we have a comprehensive inventory. With CloudYali we are attempting to do that. Another issue with existing tools is usability, which we are trying to address by bringing the information from multiple AWS accounts and regions at a single place. At the same time we keep the change history, which could be useful during troubleshooting. Please do let me know if you have further queries/doubts. You may also reach to us: support@cloudyali.io
