Show HN: Cloudrift – read-only AWS waste scan, now call from your agent(MCP) Cloudrift, a read-only AWS waste scanner, is now available as a command-line tool that estimates monthly costs of wasted resources without modifying or deleting anything. The tool, installable via npm or Homebrew, requires Node.js 20+ and read-only IAM permissions, and supports interactive wizard or flag-based analysis across multiple regions. It identifies waste in EBS volumes, Elastic IPs, RDS instances, load balancers, EC2 instances, EBS snapshots, and NAT gateways, with estimated costs per resource type. Scans AWS accounts for wasted resources and estimates the monthly cost of that waste. Read-only. No telemetry. Never deletes, modifies, or stops anything — reports only. npm install -g @cloudrift/cli cloudrift macOS/Linux via Homebrew: brew install elleVas/cloudrift/cloudrift That's it — no subcommand needed, the interactive wizard walks you through region and scanner selection. Requires Node.js 20+ and AWS credentials with read-only IAM permissions https://github.com/elleVas/cloudrift/blob/main/docs/en/iam-permissions.md aws configure , or env vars — see full setup full-setup-fresh-aws-credentials-from-source below if you need that first .
