Compute Scanner

The Compute Scanner is a tool that scans Google Cloud projects for new instances and creates them for related deployments automatically.

Currently the compute scanner supports importing the following resources:

• Google Kubernetes Engine Clusters (GKE)

Managed Compute Scanner

The managed Compute Scanner is built into the Ctrlplane solution. Each workspace will be assigned a google service account. You need to invite this service account to your projects you would like it to scan. Then in the UI, you can add a new provider, select the managed install and add all the projects you will like it to scan. Once you hit submit you may need to wait a few mins while it scanns and imports all compute resources.

Unmanaged Compute Scanner

The unmanaged Compute Scanner is a standalone tool that can be run in your infrastrcuture. Similar to the managed solution, it imports all compute resources from your projects. The unmanaged scanner is a docker container that can be run in your infrastructure. You will need to provide the service account credentials to the container.

You may want to use the unmanaged solution when you want fine control over the scanner.
