cloud-detect

A Rust library to detect the cloud service provider of a host.

This library is inspired by the Python-based cloud-detect and the Go-based satellite modules.

Like these modules, cloud-detect uses a combination of checking vendor files and metadata endpoints to accurately determine the cloud provider of a host.

Features

• Currently, this module supports the identification of the following providers:
  • Akamai Cloud (akamai)
  • Amazon Web Services (aws)
  • Microsoft Azure (azure)
  • Google Cloud Platform (gcp)
  • Alibaba Cloud (alibaba)
  • OpenStack (openstack)
  • DigitalOcean (digitalocean)
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (oci)
  • Vultr (vultr)
• Fast, simple and extensible.
• Real-time console logging using the tracing crate.

Usage

First, add the library to your project by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
# ...
cloud-detect = "3"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", features = ["env-filter"] } # Optional; for logging.

To use the non-async blocking API instead, enable the blocking feature:

[dependencies]
# ...
cloud-detect = { version = "3", features = ["blocking"] }
tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", features = ["env-filter"] } # Optional; for logging.

Detect the cloud provider and print the result (with default timeout; async).

use cloud_detect::detect;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    tracing_subscriber::fmt::init(); // Optional; for logging

    let provider = detect(None).await;

    // When tested on AWS:
    println!("{}", provider); // "aws"

    // When tested on local/non-supported cloud environment:
    println!("{}", provider); // "unknown"
}

Detect the cloud provider and print the result (with default timeout; blocking).

use cloud_detect::blocking::detect;

fn main() {
    tracing_subscriber::fmt::init(); // Optional; for logging

    let provider = detect(None).unwrap();

    // When tested on AWS:
    println!("{}", provider); // "aws"

    // When tested on local/non-supported cloud environment:
    println!("{}", provider); // "unknown"
}

Detect the cloud provider and print the result (with custom timeout; async).

use cloud_detect::detect;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    tracing_subscriber::fmt::init(); // Optional; for logging

    let provider = detect(Some(10)).await;

    // When tested on AWS:
    println!("{}", provider); // "aws"

    // When tested on local/non-supported cloud environment:
    println!("{}", provider); // "unknown"
}

Detect the cloud provider and print the result (with custom timeout; blocking).

use cloud_detect::blocking::detect;

fn main() {
    tracing_subscriber::fmt::init(); // Optional; for logging

    let provider = detect(Some(10)).unwrap();

    // When tested on AWS:
    println!("{}", provider); // "aws"

    // When tested on local/non-supported cloud environment:
    println!("{}", provider); // "unknown"
}

You can also check the list of currently supported cloud providers.

Async:

use cloud_detect::supported_providers;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    println!("Supported providers: {:?}", supported_providers().await);
}

Blocking:

use cloud_detect::blocking::supported_providers;

fn main() {
    println!("Supported providers: {:?}", supported_providers().unwrap());
}

Contributing

Contributions are welcome and greatly appreciated! If you’d like to contribute to cloud-detect, here’s how you can help.

1. Report Issues

If you encounter a bug, unexpected behavior, or have a feature request, please open an issue. Be sure to include:

• A clear description of the issue.
• Steps to reproduce, if applicable.
• Details about your environment.

2. Submit Pull Requests

If you're submitting a pull request, please ensure the following.

• Your code is formatted using cargo fmt (the Rust nightly channel is required, as a few unstable features are used).

cargo fmt +nightly --all
cargo fmt +nightly --all --check

• Code lints pass with:

cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features --workspace -- -D warnings

• Your code contains sufficient unit tests and that all tests pass.

cargo test --locked --all-features --workspace

3. Improve Documentation

If you find areas in the documentation that are unclear or incomplete, feel free to update the README or crate-level documentation. Open a pull request with your improvements.

4. Review Pull Requests

You can also contribute by reviewing open pull requests. Providing constructive feedback helps maintain a high-quality codebase.
