Overview
Workload Discovery on AWS (formerly called AWS Perspective) is a tool to visualize AWS Cloud workloads. Use this AWS Solution to build, customize, and share detailed architecture diagrams of your workloads based on live data from AWS. The solution maintains an inventory of the AWS resources across your accounts and AWS Regions, mapping relationships between them, and displaying them in a web user interface (UI). The solution also comes with a cost query builder that lets you locate AWS resources and services that may have incurred a cost. The estimated cost data is automatically calculated for the time period specified and displays on your architecture diagrams. You can generate a cost report for your architecture diagrams that contains an overview of the estimated cost and export them as CSV. The image to the right is a sample architecture diagram generated by the solution.
