CloudSnapshot

AWS wasn't made for companies with less than 100 staff. To stay in control of your account, you need to be checking a tonne of different pages in the AWS console to answer questions like:

• What services are my costs coming from?
• Are my permissions set up correctly?
• What instances do I have running? Am I actually utilising the resources?

CloudSnapshot gives you a snapshot of your AWS account across multiple services and regions in a single page. It makes understanding what is happening in a smaller account so much easier.

If you want to allow the minimum privileges for the script, attach the policy above to the IAM user or role you run the script with (for example your CloudShell user). This grants only the read-only permissions the script requires.

Note that while the script is read-only it makes 3 calls to the AWS Cost Explorer API, and those calls are priced at $0.01 each.
