Atlas
See every resource you run, what changed, and what you can save, with an owner for each.
Atlas is the resource side of OpsLyft. Cost Explorer tells you how much; Atlas tells you what it is, who owns it, and what to do about it.
| Page | Answers |
|---|---|
| Live inventory | What's running, what it costs per month, and what's wrong with it |
| Change history | What was added, removed, or changed in a window, and what each change costs |
| Optimisation | What you can save, who owns it, how hard it is, and where the ticket is |
How Atlas gets its data
- Inventory comes from each provider's resource APIs (for example
describe-instanceson AWS), polled on a schedule. The header shows when it last ran, such as Inventory · polled 30 h ago. - Cost per resource comes from billing data. The header shows how far billing goes, such as Billing through Sep 25.
- Utilisation comes from provider metrics such as CloudWatch, over a 90-day lookback.
The view lens
Atlas pages have a View menu (for example View Finance) that sets how cost is shown on the page. See Lenses.
