Intuitive Search Functionality: Quickly search and list images right from the dashboard.

Dashboard Overview

Tech Stack

Backend: Built with Python (Flask), utilizing MongoDB along with the Azure, AWS, and GCP SDKs.
Frontend: Developed using React (Vite), MUI, and Refine for a responsive and engaging user experience.
Containerization: Easily deployable using Docker, allowing for straightforward setup and management.

Configuration and Permissions

To ensure optimal functionality, configuration of the environment is necessary:

Update the .env and config.json files with your specific credentials and project IDs.
Example code snippets for setting IAM policies and permissions in AWS, Azure, and GCP are provided to facilitate access rights.
Important variables such as AWS credentials, GCP service account key, and Azure subscription IDs must be securely configured to enable seamless communication with cloud services.

Example IAM Policy for AWS

To configure AWS access, implement the following IAM policy for read-only access to EC2 resources:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:DescribeImages",
                "ec2:DescribeInstances"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
