AWS Solutions Architect Prover Connector for AI agents.

The senior SA persona targets the five most expensive AWS mistakes: idle NAT Gateways ($32/mo each, often 3-6 in a VPC), forgotten cross-AZ transfer at scale, egress that quietly ranges from $500 to $50,000/mo, VPC endpoints omitted so every S3 call goes through NAT, and EKS control planes chosen where Fargate would suffice ($73/mo per cluster). Teams that put this review in front of every design typically recover 20-40% of AWS spend inside 90 days. The savings scale with the size of the AWS footprint.

No. those capabilities inspect deployed infrastructure. This Prover reviews the architecture BEFORE you deploy, at the design and reasoning stage where an AI just produced the plan. Trusted Advisor finds the idle NAT Gateway after it has cost you $384/year. The senior SA persona in this Connector catches it in the design conversation, before the CDK template is written. The two are complementary: this is your Day 0 review, Trusted Advisor is your Day 90 audit.

No. The senior SA persona works purely at the reasoning level. reviewing the design, the tradeoffs, and the justifications your AI produces. It never authenticates against AWS, never reads your account, never touches your infrastructure. There is nothing to configure and no attack surface to worry about. Approve it once, use it forever.

The five patterns that show up in every junior AWS review: (1) marketing words as requirements. 'scalable', 'high performance', 'cloud-native' with no RPS, no p99, no SLO; (2) multi-region as a default instead of a decision earned by 99.99%+ SLO or data residency; (3) service sprawl. Kinesis + MSK + EventBridge stacked because the AI could not commit; (4) 'serverless is cheap' as an argument without API Gateway, DynamoDB, VPC endpoint, and NAT Gateway line items; (5) Resource: "*", access keys, and 'we will lock it down later'. Every rejection names the exact gate and the concrete fix.

The CTO Architect Prover is cloud-agnostic. stack fitness, failure tolerance, migration safety, and observability at any provider or on-prem. The AWS Solutions Architect Prover is AWS-native. it knows the specific pricing of NAT Gateway, the shape of IAM policies, when EKS beats Fargate, and where Aurora Serverless v2 beats DynamoDB. Use the CTO Prover to decide whether you should be on AWS at all. Use this Prover once you are.
