🎯 What It Does

AWS Inventory Manager gives you complete visibility and control over your AWS resources:

# Capture your environment
awsinv snapshot create my-snapshot --regions us-east-1,us-west-2

# Track what changed
awsinv delta --show-diff

# Find security issues
awsinv security scan --severity HIGH

# Restore to any snapshot (NEW!)
awsinv restore preview my-snapshot  # See what would be deleted
awsinv restore execute my-snapshot --confirm  # Clean up new resources

Why You Need This

• "What changed?" → Field-level configuration drift detection
• "Are we secure?" → Automated CIS Benchmark security scanning
• "Can we restore?" → Delete resources created after any snapshot
• "How much does this cost?" → Per-inventory cost tracking
• "Who owns what?" → Tag-based filtering and team isolation

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install aws-inventory-manager

60-Second Demo

# 1. Create a snapshot
awsinv snapshot create my-snapshot --regions us-east-1

# 2. See what you have
awsinv snapshot report

# 3. Make some changes in AWS console...

# 4. Track what changed
awsinv delta --snapshot my-snapshot --show-diff

# 5. Scan for security issues
awsinv security scan

# 6. Restore to snapshot (removes new resources)
awsinv restore preview my-snapshot      # Safe preview
awsinv restore execute my-snapshot --confirm  # Actual cleanup

📖 Documentation

Core Workflows

1. Snapshot Your Environment

# Basic snapshot
awsinv snapshot create prod-snapshot --regions us-east-1,us-west-2

# With tag filtering
awsinv snapshot create team-alpha \
  --include-tags "Team=Alpha" \
  --regions us-east-1

# Generate report
awsinv snapshot report --detailed
awsinv snapshot report --export report.json

What gets captured: EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPCs, IAM, KMS, and 24 more services

2. Track Configuration Changes

# See what changed since snapshot
awsinv delta --snapshot my-snapshot

# Show field-level changes
awsinv delta --snapshot my-snapshot --show-diff

Example output:

Configuration Changes:
  Instance i-abc123:
    InstanceType: t2.micro → t2.small
    Tags.Environment: dev → prod

Security Changes:
  Bucket my-bucket:
    PublicAccessBlockConfiguration.BlockPublicAcls: true → false ⚠️

3. Scan for Security Issues

# Scan all security checks
awsinv security scan

# Filter by severity
awsinv security scan --severity CRITICAL

# Export findings
awsinv security scan --export findings.json

Checks include:

• Public S3 buckets (CRITICAL)
• Open SSH/RDP ports (HIGH)
• Unencrypted databases (HIGH)
• Old IAM keys (MEDIUM)
• IMDSv1 on EC2 (MEDIUM)

4. Restore to Snapshot (NEW)

# Preview what would be deleted (safe, no changes)
awsinv restore preview prod-baseline

# Shows:
# - Resources created after the snapshot
# - Which are protected
# - Deletion order (respects dependencies)

# Execute cleanup (requires --confirm)
awsinv restore execute prod-baseline --confirm

# Filter by type or region
awsinv restore preview my-snapshot --type AWS::EC2::Instance --region us-east-1

Works with any snapshot - use whatever naming convention fits your workflow.

Safety features:

• Preview mode (dry-run)
• Multiple confirmations required
• Tag-based protection rules
• Type/age/cost-based protection
• Dependency-aware deletion order
• Comprehensive audit logging

Protection rules example:

# Protected resources are automatically skipped:
# - Resources with Protection=true tag
# - Critical resource types (e.g., production databases)
# - Resources younger than threshold
# - High-cost resources (configurable)

5. Analyze Costs

# Current costs
awsinv cost

# Date range
awsinv cost --start-date 2025-01-01 --end-date 2025-01-31

# By service
awsinv cost --show-services

---

🎯 Use Cases

Baseline State Management

# Capture your production baseline
awsinv snapshot create prod-baseline

# Later, restore to baseline state
awsinv restore execute prod-baseline --confirm
# Removes all resources created after the baseline

Ephemeral Environment Cleanup

# Create snapshot before temporary resources
awsinv snapshot create clean-state

# After testing, restore to snapshot
awsinv restore execute clean-state --confirm

Configuration Drift Detection

# Before deployment
awsinv snapshot create pre-deploy

# After deployment - see exactly what changed
awsinv delta --snapshot pre-deploy --show-diff

Multi-Team Cost Attribution

# Track costs per team
awsinv snapshot create team-frontend --include-tags "Team=Frontend"
awsinv cost --snapshot team-frontend

Security Compliance Audits

# CIS compliance reporting
awsinv security scan --cis-only --export audit.csv
