AWS – Find security, compliance, and operating metrics in AWS Resource Explorer

Today, AWS announced the general availability of a new console experience in AWS Resource Explorer that centralizes resource insights and properties from AWS services. With this release, you now have a single console experience to use simple keyword-based search for your AWS resources, view relevant resource properties, and confidently take action to organize your resources.

You can now inspect resource properties, resource-level cost with AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Security Hub findings, AWS Config compliance and configuration history, event timelines with AWS CloudTrail, and a relationship graph showing connected resources. You can also take actions on resources directly from the Resource Explorer console, such as manage tags, add resources to applications, and get additional information about a resource with Amazon Q. For example, now you can use Resource Explorer to search for untagged AWS Lambda functions, inspect the properties and tags of a specific function, examine a relationship graph to see what other resources it is connected to, and tag the function accordingly – all from a single console.

Resource Explorer is available at no additional charge, though features such as compliance information and configuration history require use of AWS Config, which is charged separately. These features are available in all AWS Regions where Resource Explorer is generally available. For more information on Resource Explorer, please visit our documentation.
