Cloudview simplifies the process of visualizing your architecture and managing your cloud infrastructure components. With Cloudview, you gain a graphical representation of your cloud-based production environment, available in three distinct formats: Cloudlist, Cloudmap, and Cloudnet.
Cloudlist:
Cloudlist presents a comprehensive, searchable list of every resource Uniskai discovers across your connected cloud accounts. It works with all of your providers — Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — so all your resources appear in one place, no matter where they run.
You can explore your resources in two ways and switch between them at any time using the List and Tree toggle at the top of the page.
List
The List view shows your resources in a clear table with their name and ID, account and region, and type. It covers all providers — including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — and can show several accounts at once. You can search across any field, narrow the results with the Filter button — by Types, Provider types, Region and Tags — organize the results with the 'Group by' control, and page through larger environments with ease.
For a closer look, click the Details button on the right, where you can review the resource's information, assign priority colors, add notes and adjust their visibility.
Click on the blue circle to access Uniskai's saving recommendations for that resource. The popup shows the recommendation type with its estimated monthly savings, and the Proceed and Details buttons.
Use Save To Excel (top right) to export the current List — the file includes whatever search and filters you have applied. To export a single region, set Group by to Region, select the region chip you want (each shows a resource count — for example Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Global, Europe (Frankfurt), with More revealing the rest), then use Save To Excel.
To see a resource inside the hierarchy, select Show in Tree in the Action column — this switches you to the Tree view.
Tree
The Tree view arranges the very same resources into an expandable, hierarchical structure grouped by service — on AWS, for instance, you will see groups such as VPC, DynamoDB, ECR, CloudTrail, Glue, SNS, SQS and more, each showing how many resources it contains. The Tree view supports all providers except Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud). View your Oracle resources in the List view instead. Resource tagging is likewise available for AWS, GCP, and Azure only, not for Oracle.
Unlike the List view, the Tree view shows one account at a time — select a single account from the picker at the top. Then choose the region from the dropdown (Global, US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), Europe (Paris), and so on), and expand any group to review its resources and their suggestions.
Use the Filter button to narrow what you see — by Types, VPC, Tags and Labels.
As in the List view, you can open a resource's Details to review its information, add notes, assign priority colors, and access its saving recommendations from the blue circle.
From the Tree view you can also add or modify tags for your resources, compatible with AWS, GCP, and Azure.
To add a tag, open a resource's Details and select Edit next to Tags. To tag several resources at once, select them with their checkboxes and choose Edit Tags at the bottom.
In the Add/edit tags dialog, enter a Key and Value, use Add one more tag if you need several, and select Save. Existing tags are listed under Attached tags — remove one by selecting the × next to it.
The saved tag then appears under Tags in the resource's Details.
To see all your tags and which resource each belongs to, open the pencil icon at the top right. From there you can review your tags and use the … menu → View on → Cloudlist to jump to the resource. (This view is for browsing — tags are added and edited from a resource's Details.)
These tags, created by you, make it easy to filter and group marked resources — for example, to view costs for only those labeled resources in billing (costs are aggregated over a specific time frame, typically about a day). More information about Tags and Organizations can be found here.
Cloudmap
Cloudmap is an architectural diagram that visually represents your cloud infrastructure in a map format. This proves highly beneficial for DevOps experts, as it is fully interactive and automatically generated by our platform. You can select a specific region from the dropdown list and easily save the diagram in PDF format. Additionally, you can apply filters based on labels.
If you click on a resource type within this diagram, you will access detailed information on the right. Once again, there is an option to add notes.
You can access saving recommendations directly within the diagram. Clicking on the ‘Proceed’ button will take you to the Cloudsitter feature, which promptly displays the saving plan policy. The Details button will redirect you to the corresponding tab with recommendations. Read more about Cloudsitter here.
Cloudnet
Cloudnet is an architectural diagram focusing on networking, displaying the flow of traffic within your infrastructure. This diagram is entirely interactive, allowing you to click on resources and move them as needed. It provides data on security vulnerabilities and helps you understand the relationships between different services. Clicking on an icon reveals detailed information.
Likewise, you can choose a specific region and save the document in PDF format or use filter.
You can also access all EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) resources within Cloudview. Navigate to a region where EKS resources exist and select the necessary tab, for example, the Cloudmap.
If you do not see your EKS resources, please make sure your cluster is connected to the platform.
To connect your EKS cluster, follow this guide:
Cluster Connection Guide
Once the cluster is successfully connected, its resources will become visible in Cloudview.
Near the EKS resources, you'll find the 'Click to drill down' button.
Click on the button to open the EKS diagram in a new tab. To access ‘Details,’ simply click on the desired resource. Learn more about EKS here.
These architectural diagrams are designed to simplify the lives of DevOps engineers. They offer one-click analytics and reporting, and Uniskai's suggestions help you monitor and detect issues that require optimization before they impact your business. As a result, you'll save costs and quickly generate financial reports with minimal time and effort.
You can also tag resources and view their total cost in the dashboard. Find additional information about labels here.
