| description | Chat-based AWS infrastructure assistance using AWS CLI and console context. Use for querying, auditing, and monitoring AWS resources (EC2, S3, IAM, Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, CloudWatch, billing, etc.), and for proposing safe changes with explicit confirmation before any write/destructive action. |
AWS Infra
Overview
Use the local AWS CLI to answer questions about AWS resources. Default to read-only queries. Only propose or run write/destructive actions after explicit user confirmation.
Quick Start
- Determine profile/region from environment or
~/.aws/config.
- Start with identity:
aws sts get-caller-identity
- Use read-only service commands to answer the question.
- If the user asks for changes, outline the exact command and ask for confirmation before running.
Safety Rules (must follow)
- Treat all actions as read-only unless the user explicitly requests a change and confirms it.
- For any potentially destructive change (delete/terminate/destroy/modify/scale/billing/IAM credentials), require a confirmation step.
- Prefer
--dry-run when available and show the plan before execution.
- Never reveal or log secrets (access keys, session tokens).
Task Guide (common requests)
- Inventory / list: use
list/describe/get commands.
- Health / errors: use CloudWatch metrics/logs queries.
- Security checks: IAM, S3 public access, SG exposure, KMS key usage.
- Costs: Cost Explorer / billing queries (read-only).
- Changes: show exact CLI command and require confirmation.
Region & Profile Handling
- If the user specifies a region/profile, honor it.
- Otherwise use
AWS_PROFILE / AWS_REGION if set, then fall back to ~/.aws/config.
- When results are region-scoped, state the region used.
