    This product has charges associated with it for seller support. Dust is a command line tool designed to visualize disk usage in a more intuitive and human readable format.

    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.

    Key

    Dust 1.2.4 is a software only CLI tool focused on file-system visibility and performance on Ubuntu 24.04, with optional maintenance support provided through Amazon Web Services AWS. The Asset and Indoor Environment Monitoring solution, on the other hand, combines physical sensors with services like AWS IoT Core, IoT Analytics, and Amazon QuickSight to deliver real-time environmental monitoring and reporting.
