AWS Launches AI Agent to Automate Cloud Architecture Reviews
AWS Well-Architected Agent enters public preview, delivering goal-aligned cloud optimization recommendations.
AWS announced the public preview of AWS Well-Architected Agent, an AI-powered service that analyzes infrastructure across 65-plus AWS services to generate prioritized recommendations covering cost, security, performance, and resilience.

Recommendations include remediation packages with console walkthroughs, Infrastructure as Code updates for Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK, and CLI commands.
