 Cloud scanner estimates impacts according to the duration of use of cloud resources. It also considers the "intensity" of use (like the type of instance and CPU load for a VM or size of a disk for storage). The region of use is also considered to take into account the electricity mix of the region (carbon intensity).

 The general approach is to map cloud vendor specific ressources, either to Boavizta *cloud resources* (like for VM instances) or to more generic components (Block storage volumes are approximated as Boavizta HDD or SSD).
 
 But this approach means that **a large portion** of the cloud provider infrastructure **is excluded from the estimation**.
