Cloudkeeper
Housekeeping for Clouds!
Table of contents
Overview
Cloudkeeper is “housekeeping for clouds” - find leaky resources, manage quota limits, detect drift and clean up.
Cloudkeeper indexes resources, captures dependencies and maps out your infrastructure in a graph so that it’s understandable for a human. The graph contains metrics for each resource. Developers and SREs can search the graph with a query language, and create alerting and clean-up workflows. Metrics can be aggregated and exported to a time series database like Prometheus.
If you ever
- had a standstill in your CI pipeline because a broken job leaked cloud resources which triggered a quota limit
- wanted to find all expired certificate
- had to change the tags of thousands of EC2 instances at once
- needed to delete all unused EBS volumes that had no I/O in the past month
- wished for a god view that lets you explore all cloud usage across all clouds
- reported the cost of a project across different accounts or even across clouds
- cleaned up orphaned load balancers that had no active backends
- wanted to automate any of the above
Those are the kinds of situations Cloudkeeper was built for.
Currently it can collect AWS, Google Cloud, VMWare Vsphere, OneLogin and Slack. The later can also be used for notification of resource cleanups. If the cloud you are using is not listed it is easy to write your own collectors. An example can be found here.
Cloudkeeper consists of multiple components described in the component list below
The latest Docker image is: ghcr.io/someengineering/cloudkeeper:2.0.0a6

Docker based quick start
In this quick start guide, we’re showing you three things, how to:
1. install Cloudkeeper for AWS with docker
2. use the Cloudkeeper CLI to run your first collect process
3. query the results of the collect process
The docker set-up takes 2-5 minutes. The duration of the first collect process depends on the size of your environment - usually 5-10 minutes.
Examples and data in this guide are based on a small AWS Cloud9 environment.
To start exploring you need AWS credentials and a working Docker environment with access to AWS APIs.
We assume you are familiar with basic Docker operations and how to operate a Linux shell.

Cloning this repository
This Git repo uses Git Large File Storage (LFS).
If you would like to work on the UI ckui, before cloning the repo make sure to have git-lfs installed!
One time setup:
$ git clone https://github.com/someengineering/cloudkeeper.git
$ cd cloudkeeper/
$ git lfs install # installs git-lfs hooks
Once set up you can interact with the repo like any other Git project. All large UI assets will be retrived from Github's LFS servers.
If you have no need for the UI assets git-lfs is optional.
