How to programmatically figure out which services are being actively used by an AWS account

Have your tried using awscli get cost usage to retrieve the resources in your account by different dimensions? FYI https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/ce/get-cost-and-usage-with-resources.html Or https://docs.aws.amazon.com/zh_cn/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_GetCostAndUsageWithResources.html

Hi There

There are a few ways to to this:

1. Use Tag Editor
2. Use AWS Config
3. Use a third party tool like aws-inventory
4. Use AWS Resource Explorer although not all services are supported yet

I'd consider looking in to the recently announced AWS Resource Explorer (https://aws.amazon.com/resourceexplorer/)

Thank you for quick responses! I should have added that I have limitation of working within SecurityAudit policy permissions to be able to do this programmatically. That said, I wasn't aware of aws-inventory tool and AWS resource explorer, will try those and respond back to the thread if it indeed solves the problem.
