Overview
Dust 1.2.4 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Maintenance Support by kCloudHubs is a repackaged open-source solution available on the AWS Cloud Marketplace, with optional paid support services. Its designed to make disk-usage analysis faster, clearer, and far more user-friendly than traditional Unix tools like du.
Increase for performance, Dust uses parallel processing to scan directories and files at high speed, even across large and complex file systems. Instead of plain text output, it delivers a clean, visual layout that helps you instantly understand where your storage is being used.
What Makes Dust Different
Running on Ubuntu 24.04, Dust acts as a modern CLI replacement for du, giving system admins and DevOps teams a quicker, more intuitive way to analyze disk usage. Its lightweight, fast, and ideal for cloud environments where storage efficiency matters.
About Dust in a Different Context
Its worth noting that the term dust is also used in AWS based Asset and Indoor Environment Monitoring solutions. Those systems rely on IoT sensors to track physical dust particles, along with temperature, humidity, and energy usage in spaces like offices, factories, and warehouses. They focus on environmental compliance, safety, and predictive maintenance.
While both solutions operate on AWS infrastructure, they solve very different problems one optimises digital storage, the other monitors physical environments.
Shared Capabilities
Both offerings are optimised for AWS and integrate smoothly with existing cloud workloads. They support automated data collection and provide visual insights that help teams react quickly and make informed decisions.
