Description:

Presented by: Tim Armstrong

In this video, we’ll learn how to use CloudQuery and Grafana to build an Open Source AWS Cloud Asset Inventory. This Cloud Asset Inventory will help you manage and track your AWS resources.

If you want to learn how to build an AWS Cloud Asset Inventory, this video is for you! We’ll walk you through the steps necessary to create one, and we’ll provide a demonstration so that you can see how it works in action. By the end of this video, you’ll have the tools you need to build an Open Source AWS Cloud Asset Inventory using CloudQuery and Grafana!

For this tutorial, we’ll be deploying both CloudQuery and Grafana to an EKS Kubernetes Cluster using Helm, but there are many more ways you can deploy CloudQuery. Check out the docs for more info: https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/deploy…

In this tutorial, we cover how to use an AWS IAM Role in Kubernetes with EKSCTL, how to add a Kubernetes Secret from the CLI, how to configure & deploy the CloudQuery Helm Chart, how to configure & deploy the Grafana Helm Chart, and how to import and use our ready-made Grafana Dashboards for Cloud Asset Inventories.
