Cloud scanner combines real time inventory and usage data from your AWS account with Boavizta API to offer a view of your impacts on a given region.
- multi criteria: Primary Energy consumption (PE), Abiotic resource depletion potential (ADP), and Global Warming Potential (GWP)
- multi stage: separate impacts of resources Usage and Manufacture
This is similar to what you can get from Datavizta but with automated inventory.
Estimations can be filtered by tags. It eases attribution to a specific server, environment, application or service.
Cloud-scanner can be used:
- from command line, to get an immediate view of your impacts 💻
- as a metric server . You can use it to monitor and display real time impacts in a dashboard 📊
How it works:
Cloud scanner follows Boavizta approach.

Cloud scanner can also be deployed as a serverless application for aws.
Cloud scanner returns data as json or Open Metrics (Prometheus) format.

Cloud scanner only estimates the impacts of your AWS EC2 instances and optionally block storage.
The limitations of cloud-scanner are documented in Limitations - Boavizta cloud scanner 📡
