To analyze all assets in your GCP project you will need to enable the Cloud Asset API within the GCP console for that specific project, which manages the history and inventory of all resources helping you to discover, monitor, and analyze all your assets in one place.
To analyze all resources in your AWS account you will need to enable AWS Resource Explorer within the AWS console, as it helps to efficiently search for and discover your resources across AWS Regions and accounts.
