AWS Well-Architected Agent is now available in preview

AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)AWS · Developer Tools

AWS announces the preview of AWS Well-Architected Agent, an AI-powered service that is the next-gen evolution of AWS Trusted Advisor and the AWS Well-Architected Tool. The agent analyzes and optimizes AWS infrastructure across cost, security, performance, and reliability, delivering contextualized recommendations prioritized by business goals. It automatically correlates key metrics and application topology against Well-Architected best practices and analyzes Terraform, CDK templates and CloudFormation templates to deliver automation-ready fixes where applicable.

With AWS Well-Architected Agent, teams can define their business goals and get recommendations prioritized by impact and effort at the resource, application, and architecture levels. For example, a team prioritizing reliability can receive recommendations to add multi-AZ failover to a critical database, complete with an SSM runbook that automates the configuration change and a cross-pillar analysis showing how this change affects cost and performance before you commit. Where applicable, recommendations are delivered with SSM runbooks, prescriptive CLI scripts, and guided console walkthroughs so teams can move quickly. The agent can also conduct automated reviews of your IaC templates that include Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK templates, identifying gaps, and returning the IaC code changes needed to align with Well-Architected best practices.

Access to the AWS Well-Architected Agent and its recommendations is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon). You can onboard workloads from any AWS commercial Region. AWS Well-Architected Agent is delivered by AWS Support and available to AWS customers with an AWS Support plan.
