Alibaba Cloud Insights Mod
Create dashboards and reports for your Alibaba Cloud resources using Steampipe.
Overview
Dashboards can help answer questions like:
- How many resources do I have?
- How old are my resources?
- Are there any publicly accessible resources?
- Is encryption enabled and what keys are used for encryption?
- Is versioning enabled?
- What are the relationships between closely connected resources like RAM users, groups, and policies?
Dashboards are available for ECS, KMS, RAM, RDS, OSS, and VPC services.
