wa-guardrails
byaws-samples· 161 skills
Generate preventive Well-Architected guardrails — AWS Config rules, Service Control Policies, permission boundaries, CloudWatch alarms, and IaC policy checks (CDK Aspects, cfn-guard, OPA/Sentinel) — plus an optional governance steering doc, so a workload stays aligned with Well-Architected best practices over time instead of being assessed once. Use when the user wants to enforce best practices in CI, prevent insecure or non-compliant configurations from shipping, detect configuration drift, codify the fixes from a Well-Architected review as ongoing controls, or capture standards as an always-on steering file for their AI coding agent.
