Stop switching between AWS Console, Azure Portal, OCI Cloud Console, and vSphere Client. CloudVista gives every team — security, FinOps, engineering — a single, unified view of all cloud and on-premises resources.
Start Free — No Credit Card View Live DemoMulti-cloud inventory management is the practice of automatically discovering, cataloging, and continuously tracking resources across two or more cloud providers — and optionally on-premises infrastructure — from a single unified platform.
As organisations mature their cloud strategy, they inevitably end up with resources spread across AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP, and (for many) still-running VMware vSphere environments on-premises. Each provider has its own console, its own terminology, its own API, its own billing format. Without a unified inventory tool, the answer to "what do we actually have running?" requires someone to manually check five different systems.
Multi-cloud inventory management platforms like CloudVista solve this by:
AWS calls it a "security group." Azure calls it a "network security group." OCI calls it a "security list." They do roughly the same thing, but live in different consoles, require different expertise to manage, and have different rule syntaxes. Multi-cloud inventory management means reconciling these differences automatically.
Cloud resources are created and destroyed faster than any manual process can track. Auto-scaling groups spin up and terminate EC2 instances within minutes. Kubernetes pods come and go continuously. A static spreadsheet or quarterly audit is obsolete before the ink is dry.
In most organisations, multiple teams have direct cloud access. Resources get provisioned by developers, data scientists, and operations teams across multiple accounts that central IT may not have visibility into. Multi-cloud inventory needs to cover all accounts, not just the "known" ones.
Most multi-cloud tools support AWS, Azure, and GCP — but stop there. Organisations with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or on-premises VMware vSphere are left with partial visibility. CloudVista is one of the few platforms with native OCI support and full VMware vSphere integration, making it the right choice for organisations in OCI-heavy sectors (finance, utilities, government) or hybrid cloud environments.
CloudVista provides native inventory collection across all five major platforms:
| Platform | Inventory | Security Findings | Compliance | Cost Data | Health Checks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS | ✅ 25+ types | ✅ Full | ✅ CIS, SOC2, PCI, HIPAA | ✅ Cost Explorer API | ✅ |
| Azure | ✅ 20+ types | ✅ Full | ✅ CIS, SOC2, PCI, HIPAA | ✅ Cost Management API | ✅ |
| OCI | ✅ 15+ types | ✅ Full | ✅ CIS, SOC2 | ✅ Usage Reports API | ✅ |
| GCP | ✅ 15+ types | ✅ Core rules | ✅ CIS | ⚠️ Coming soon | ✅ |
| VMware vSphere | ✅ 10 types | ✅ Health-based | — | ⚠️ Estimated cost | ✅ Full |
Search, filter, and drill down across all cloud providers simultaneously. Find any resource by name, type, region, tag, or health status — no matter which cloud it's in.
Interactive D3.js topology maps showing resource relationships across providers. Visualise how an AWS load balancer connects to an Azure-hosted service or how VPN links your on-premises vSphere to the cloud.
Security findings and compliance scores presented in a single posture view across all providers. Identify the riskiest resources across your entire estate, not just within one cloud.
Total cloud spend across all providers in one number. Break down by provider, service, category (compute / storage / network), and project a 12-month forecast by category.
5 predefined roles (Admin, InventoryManager, Viewer, SecurityAnalyst, CostManager) and custom roles with per-page granularity. Give security teams access to findings without exposing cost data.
Configure sync frequency per credential — hourly for production, daily for dev. Or trigger on-demand collection after a deployment to verify what was actually provisioned.
Security posture management is significantly harder in a multi-cloud environment. Security teams must be fluent in the security models of each provider, understand the interaction between accounts and networks, and track compliance across frameworks that apply regardless of which cloud a resource runs in.
CloudVista normalises security findings across all providers into a single risk model, so a security analyst can review high-severity findings across AWS, Azure, OCI, and VMware without switching tools or learning provider-specific terminology.
CloudVista identifies the attack surface across your multi-cloud estate: publicly accessible storage, compute instances with open ingress rules, databases without encryption, overly permissive IAM policies, and resources without MFA enforcement — surfaced across all providers in one findings view.
One of the most underappreciated benefits of multi-cloud inventory management is cost consolidation. When your cloud spend is visible in a single view across all providers, patterns emerge that are invisible when you're looking at each provider's billing console in isolation.
CloudVista collects billing data from each provider's cost API and surfaces:
Single pane of glass for security posture across all clouds. Review findings prioritised by severity and provider. Generate compliance reports for auditors without manual data gathering. Set up automated alerts for critical misconfigurations the moment they appear.
One cost dashboard instead of five billing consoles. 12-month forecasting for budget planning. Idle resource identification to justify cost optimisation initiatives. Network egress breakdown to surface hidden charges. Budget alerts with per-category thresholds.
Always-current inventory as the source of truth for infrastructure documentation. Change history showing what was provisioned, modified, or deleted and when. Topology maps for architecture review and incident investigation. Health monitoring across all providers with alerting.
Executive dashboard showing resource distribution, compliance posture score, and total spend across the full cloud estate. Evidence of cloud governance for board and audit committee reporting. RBAC ensuring the right teams see the right data without sharing credentials.
Multi-cloud inventory management is the automated discovery, cataloging, and tracking of resources across two or more cloud providers — AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP — and optionally on-premises VMware vSphere. It provides a single unified view of your entire infrastructure estate.
Each cloud provider uses different terminology, APIs, data models, and console UIs. Without a unified platform, teams spend hours switching between consoles. CloudVista normalises data from all providers into a consistent model, presenting a single searchable inventory.
Very few tools support Oracle Cloud Infrastructure natively. CloudVista is one of the few platforms with full native OCI support — compute, databases, networking, storage, and IAM — alongside AWS, Azure, GCP, and VMware vSphere.
CloudVista consolidates cost data from all providers in a single view, shows 12-month forecasts by category, flags idle resources, and surfaces network egress charges — including hidden charges like AWS NAT Gateway double-billing.
Yes — CloudVista supports VMware vSphere / vCenter as a fifth platform. Your on-premises VMs, ESXi hosts, clusters, and datastores appear in the same inventory as your AWS and Azure resources, giving hybrid teams a truly unified view.
Connect all your cloud accounts and your VMware vSphere environment to CloudVista. One dashboard, five platforms, complete visibility — up and running in under 10 minutes.
