Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to streamlined analysis of infrastructure posture of a cloud environment. In particular, it relates to accessing permissions data and access control data for pairs of compute resources and storage resources in the cloud environment, tracing network communication paths between the pairs of the compute resources and the storage resources based on the permissions data and the access control data, and constructing a cloud infrastructure map that graphically depicts the pairs of the compute resources and the storage resources as nodes, and the network communication paths as edges between the nodes.
