Well Architected Iac Analyzer

Well Architected IaC Analyzer is an open-source sample web application that uses Amazon Bedrock generative AI to assess infrastructure-as-code files and architecture diagrams against AWS Well-Architected best practices. It supports CloudFormation, Terraform and AWS CDK inputs, project files and ZIP archives, and PNG or JPEG diagrams; it also provides assessment guidance and can generate IaC templates from diagrams.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it for an on-demand review of AWS infrastructure code or a diagram when you want findings tied to Well-Architected practices and a way to explore remediation priorities.

Who it is for

  • Cloud architects reviewing AWS infrastructure designs against Well-Architected guidance.
  • Development teams assessing CloudFormation, Terraform or AWS CDK projects.
  • Reviewers who need to discuss assessment findings or prioritize improvement work.

Documented uses

  • Assess IaC files or complete projects against AWS Well-Architected practices.
  • Evaluate an architecture diagram and generate a corresponding IaC template.
  • Add supporting documents to provide context for an assessment.
  • Explore recommendations, prioritize findings and export review fields to CSV.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under MIT-0. The documented deployment options are a CloudFormation stack, deployment script or manual deployment. The project README describes it as a non-production sample and says maintenance will continue mainly for security patching.

  • The tool evaluates submitted design artifacts; the README distinguishes it from the AWS Well-Architected Agent, which it describes as analyzing live AWS environments.
  • The CloudFormation deployment option requires a region with access enabled for the selected Amazon Bedrock model.
  • The default load balancer is internet-facing with authentication enabled; internal access requires network connectivity to the deployed VPC.
  • The README says the sample is intended for non-production use and recommends organizational security and legal review before deployment.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Deploy the analyzer with CloudFormation

Create a deployment environment for the analyzer using the documented CloudFormation stack option.

Before you start

  • An AWS account and access to the AWS CloudFormation console.
  • A deployment region where access to the selected Amazon Bedrock model has been enabled.
  • The project’s CloudFormation deployment-stack template.

Steps

  1. Download the iac-analyzer-deployment-stack.yaml template from the project repository.

  2. Open the AWS CloudFormation console in the region where model access is enabled.

  3. Create a stack by uploading the template, then enter or adjust the stack name and parameters.

  4. Keep authentication enabled if using the default internet-facing load balancer; configure the documented parameters as needed.

Expected outcome

A CloudFormation stack provisions a deployment environment for the analyzer.

Guide limitations

  • The project is described as a non-production sample; consult organizational security and legal teams before deployment.
  • The default load balancer is internet-facing. Disabling authentication for a public deployment would leave the application publicly accessible without security controls.
  • Access to an internal load balancer requires network connectivity to the deployed VPC.
  • Confirm that the selected Bedrock model is available in the deployment region.
