Unified Asset Inventory
Managing cloud resources across multiple providers is complex. Teams often struggle with fragmented visibility — resources scattered across AWS accounts, GCP projects, Azure subscriptions, and SaaS providers with no single place to see everything.
CloudYali's Unified Asset Inventory brings all your cloud resources into a single view. Whether it's an EC2 instance in AWS, a VM in Azure, a GKE cluster in GCP, a Fastly CDN service, or an Anthropic workspace — you can discover, track, and inspect every resource from one place.
Key Capabilities
Multi-Cloud Resource Table
The inventory table displays resources from all connected cloud providers in a single, sortable list:
- Provider: Cloud provider icon and name (AWS, GCP, Azure, Fastly, Anthropic)
- Resource ID: Unique identifier — click to open the resource detail dialog
- Resource Type: The specific type of resource (e.g., EC2 Instance, Virtual Machine, Cloud SQL)
- Region: Where the resource is deployed (or "global" for non-regional resources)
- Account: The AWS account, GCP project, Azure subscription, or provider account
- Cost: Total cost for the selected time period
- First Scan Time: When CloudYali first discovered the resource
- State: Active (green badge) or Deleted (red badge)
Sort any column by clicking its header. Use the search bar for quick text-based filtering across all visible columns. Choose page sizes of 10, 25, 50, or 100 rows.
Resource Detail Dialog
Click any resource row to open the detail dialog with four tabs:
- Overview — Resource metadata including account, region, type, and discovery timestamps
- Configuration History — Version timeline with side-by-side diff comparison for tracking what changed. See Configuration Change History for details.
- Cost — Daily cost breakdown chart and table for the selected time period. See Resource Cost Integration for details.
- JSON — Full resource configuration in an expandable JSON tree view
Time Range Selection
Use the Period selector in the toolbar to control the time window. This affects:
- Which resources appear (resources that were active during the selected period)
- Cost data shown in the resource detail dialog
CSV Export
Click the Export button in the toolbar to download the current view as a CSV file. The export includes all displayed columns with a timestamped filename (e.g., inventory_2026-02-07.csv).

Resource Lifecycle Tracking
CloudYali tracks the complete lifecycle of every resource across all cloud providers.
Active Resources
All resources currently present in your cloud environment are shown with a green Active badge. The First Scan Time column shows when CloudYali first discovered the resource.
Deleted Resources
When a resource is removed from your cloud, CloudYali marks it as Deleted with a red badge. The deletion time is recorded based on when CloudYali detected the absence during its sync cycle.
The recorded deletion time represents when CloudYali's sync detected the resource was gone, which may differ slightly from the actual deletion time depending on scan frequency.
Deleted resources are retained for the duration of your retention period, after which the data is permanently removed. The retention period depends on your subscription tier.
