Discover Assets
Discover Assets provides a real-time region-aware visualization of your cloud infrastructure. Instead of navigating through individual cloud provider consoles you get a unified view of all resources across accounts, regions and zones from a single screen.
Key Capabilities
Visualize Your Cloud Footprint
Discover Assets renders your infrastructure in a hierarchical layout that mirrors how cloud providers organize resources by region, zone, VPC and subnet. You can view your entire cloud footprint or narrow the scope to a specific Resource Context and a selected set of regions.
Each resource card displays key attributes such as machine type, IP addresses, attached disks and current state giving you instant visibility into what is running and what is stopped or terminated.
Manage Resources Directly
From the discovery view you can perform lifecycle operations on resources without switching to the cloud provider console. Operations like start, stop, reboot and delete are available both at the individual resource level and in bulk.
When deleting higher-level resources such as VPCs or subnets MechCloud automatically handles dependent resource cleanup. There is no need to manually order deletions or remove child resources first.
Identify Waste
Discover Assets helps you spot idle or orphaned resources like unattached disks, unused static IPs and stopped instances that continue to incur cost. You can remove these directly from the discovery UI with a single click.
How to Use
Log on to MechCloud and navigate to Infrastructure > Discover Assets.
Select a team.
Select one or more cloud accounts under the Select cloud account dropdown.
Optionally select a Resource Context and specific regions to narrow the scope.
Click Show Discovered Assets to display previously discovered assets for the selected accounts.
Click Discover to run a fresh discovery and update the asset inventory.
Credential-Free Operation
MechCloud operates your cloud accounts without storing any credentials. There are no keys to manage or rotate. Authentication is handled through federated identity mechanisms specific to each cloud provider (OIDC for AWS, Workload Identity Federation for GCP, Service Principal for Azure).
Cloud Provider Support
Discover Assets is available for the following cloud providers:
