AWS Resource Viewer

AWS Resource Viewer is a read-only tool designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud architects to quickly inventory AWS resources across regions and services. It uses AWS APIs to enumerate resources and present metadata such as resource type, region, account, tags, and status. It does not modify resources and requires only least-privilege listing permissions.

Conceptual operation: The tool accepts credentials or leverages environment-based credentials, then queries service APIs for the selected resource types. It handles pagination, consolidates results into a uniform schema, and lets users filter by service, region, tag, or status. The output emphasizes visibility and audit-readiness rather than control.

Who benefits: developers validating deployments, security teams verifying configurations, auditors preparing for reviews, and cloud architects planning optimization or migrations. Unique differentiators: non-intrusive read-only access, cross-region aggregation, export-ready data, and a focus on inventory and configuration metadata rather than usage or costs. Common use cases include inventory checks, resource reconciliation, and governance reporting.

Core features and use cases: multi-service discovery, region-aware listing, tag-based filters, structured JSON export, CSV export, and quick summaries of resource counts by type. Use cases include preparing a resource inventory for migration, auditing for unused resources, and verifying compliance with naming and tagging standards.
