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

1. Determine profile/region from environment or ~/.aws/config.
2. Start with identity:
   • aws sts get-caller-identity
3. Use read‑only service commands to answer the question.
4. 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.
