Herd your cloud 🐑 environments with Collie
One project on AWS, two on Azure, and might there be something on GCP too 😵? Collie helps you get an overview of everything going on in all your clouds. See your costs, IAM, tags, and more across all cloud accounts within minutes - using your existing cloud CLIs - and take control of your cloud landscape.
- View all cloud tenants in one single overview - View your AWS Accounts, Azure Subscriptions, and Google Cloud Projects with their metadata with only one command.
- View billing information across all clouds - See what you spend per day, month, or week in all cloud platforms, including the right metadata. Includes support for CSV, YML and JSON.
- Build a cost dashboard - Leverage our free-to-use Google Data Studio template and quickly build a multi-cloud cost dashboard using Collie cost data.
- Analyze tag inconsistencies - See at a glance what tags are used, by which tenants (and which not), and what potential inconsistencies are in place to fix any governance issues.
- View IAM assignments - See who (or what) has access in what roles to what cloud tenants, including inherited roles from ancestors.
For each cloud platform you want to manage, you'll need the equivalent cloud CLI installed.
- For AWS, this is the
awsCLI. Install it here. Do not use the Docker install method.- Make sure that you are logged into the management account, which is necessary for listing all AWS Accounts & costs.
- For Azure, this is the
azCLI. Install it here.- Make sure that your user has access to all possible Azure Subscriptions. Subscriptions that you do not have access to will not be listed with Collie.
- For Google Cloud, this is the
gcloudCLI. Install it here.- Make sure that your user has access to all possible Google Cloud Projects. Projects that you do not have access to will not be listed with Collie.
That's it! Let's get Collie installed

At meshcloud we have years of experience in building cloud foundations in large organizations with our cloud governance platform meshStack.
We launched Collie CLI as a tool for smaller teams to start getting more control over their clouds. Collie its features originate from some of the best practices of our Cloud Foundation Maturity Model, which is a tool that you can use to identify gaps in your cloud setup, define a roadmap and understand where you can save cost by improving efficiency.
This project was originally kicked off by three team members at meshcloud. We wanted to bring out some of our experience building cloud foundation teams to the public so everyone can get a taste of what it's like to supercharge your (multi-)cloud governance.
We are very happy to accept contributions from others as well!
