Assets

Assets is the inventory of every cloud resource Beak FinOps has discovered for a company. Browse resources across all subscriptions or accounts, filter and search, and see them grouped by category with utilization and distribution analytics. It re-renders for the selected cloud (Azure or AWS).

Asset Tabs​

The Overview tab summarizes the inventory; the remaining tabs filter to a resource category, each showing a count:

  • Compute — Virtual machines and related compute
  • Networking — Networking resources
  • Storage — Storage accounts and disks
  • Web & App Services — App and web hosting
  • Databases — Managed databases
  • Security, Monitoring, Containers — Their respective resource types

Overview Tab​

The Overview tab surfaces:

  • Summary metrics — Total assets, subscriptions, categories, and account groups
  • Activity & Health — Recently changed and health signals
  • Assets by Category — Resource counts per category
  • Resource Distribution — Distribution across account groups
  • Subscription Distribution — Distribution across subscriptions (accounts, in AWS)

Category Tabs​

Selecting a category tab filters the resource table to that type. Each row shows the resource name, type, location, SKU, state, subscription, utilization, and last-synced time. Use the filters (search, subscription, resource group, type, location) to narrow further.

AWS view​

Switch the cloud toggle to AWS to inventory AWS resources, with AWS-native categories and account-based distribution.

Best Practices​

  • Watch hidden resources — The portal-visible vs. hidden split highlights resources that may be missed by manual review
  • Use category tabs for cleanup — The Compute and Storage tabs are the fastest way to spot idle or oversized resources
  • Cross-reference recommendations — Pair a high-cost asset with its Recommendations
