  • Resource Discovery: Scans cloud accounts to find unmanaged infrastructure components.
  • Inventory Gap Analysis: Identifies resources that should be managed but are not.
  • Use Case: A user suspects some S3 buckets in their AWS account are not under formae management and wants to confirm and list them.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I find unmanaged cloud resources in my infrastructure?

To find unmanaged cloud resources, you scan configured cloud providers to identify infrastructure components outside of formae's management scope. This discovers inventory gaps and infrastructure drift across your accounts.

What is cloud infrastructure drift and how does resource discovery detect it?

Cloud infrastructure drift occurs when resources exist outside your management platform's control. Resource discovery detects this drift by scanning cloud accounts to identify infrastructure components outside your configured management scope.

Do I need a formae agent running to discover unmanaged cloud resources?

Yes, discovering unmanaged resources requires the formae agent running and configured with cloud credentials. The agent connects to your targeted cloud providers to execute the inventory gap analysis.

Can I scan multiple cloud providers for unmanaged resources?

Yes, you can scan multiple cloud providers by configuring the formae agent with appropriate cloud credentials for each targeted provider. This enables comprehensive resource discovery and inventory gap analysis across your infrastructure.

What is the best way to identify inventory gaps in cloud infrastructure?

The best way to identify inventory gaps is to run a resource discovery scan across your cloud accounts. This compares active cloud resources against your management scope, highlighting unmanaged infrastructure components requiring control.

Why are my cloud resources showing up as unmanaged during discovery?

Cloud resources show up as unmanaged during discovery when they exist in your cloud accounts but fall outside formae's configured management scope. This indicates infrastructure drift or resources provisioned without proper tracking.
