Cloud Discovery documentation
Cloud Discovery is a macOS desktop app that turns raw Azure resource data into a client-ready assessment: it classifies resources, maps dependencies, checks migration readiness, and generates professional documentation with your own AI key. Everything runs locally, and your data stays on your Mac.
Installation and license
Download the app, activate your license key, and keep the app up to date.
AI setup
Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, pick a model, and understand typical costs.
First assessment
A full walkthrough: project, data import, resources, summary, documentation, export.
Module reference
Every screen explained: the core workflow, the analysis tools, and the library pages.
Privacy and security
Where your data lives, what leaves your machine, and when.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
Fixes for common errors, plus answers to frequent questions.
How the workflow fits together
A report is produced in five steps. Each step has its own page inside a project, and the app tracks which steps are done.
Create a project, then upload a CSV, JSON, or Excel export of your Azure environment, or connect live to Azure and discover resources directly.
The app classifies every resource, maps relationships between them, and raises findings such as missing backups or open security gaps. No AI key needed.
One AI call produces an environment overview: what is running, how it is organized, and what stands out.
Pick a content template for your audience and let the AI draft each section. Every section stays editable before export.
Choose one of 14 visual styles, preview the real PDF, and export PDF or Markdown.
