Get Started with Pulumi Insights Account Discovery

Pulumi Insights is an intelligent infrastructure management service that helps you discover, understand, manage, and improve your cloud infrastructure. Insights improves security, compliance, and efficiency through AI-powered asset and compliance management.

Pulumi Insights gives you the tools to:

• Discover: Scan and sync all your cloud infrastructure – including resources provisioned manually or through other tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes and ARM – to bring everything under a single pane of glass. Gain complete visibility across clouds, regions, and accounts.

• Understand: Analyze your cloud infrastructure with powerful search and AI-driven insights. Use natural language queries to find resources, identify underutilized or untagged assets, and uncover trends that help you align with business goals.

• Manage: Group related resources into logical units that reflect your business priorities. Use these groupings to identify policy violations, enforce tagging standards, and ensure compliance across your organization.

• Improve: Optimize your cloud infrastructure with actionable recommendations. Detect and remediate security violations, reduce costs by identifying inefficient resources, and enforce compliance policies.
