Not just a code generator. A complete cloud education platform that lives in your terminal.
Choose your architecture. Answer questions. Learn WHY each decision matters — while production-ready Terraform generates in 60 seconds.
Auto-detects your VPCs, subnets, and key pairs. Asks smart questions with built-in lessons. Generates WAF rules, KMS encryption, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation. From single EC2 to multi-region EKS serving 1M+ users.
Every session includes built-in LESSONS that explain the WHEN and WHY, not just the HOW.
This is the curriculum I wish I had when I started. It's what I use myself to stay sharp.
CIDR blocks, public vs private subnets, NAT Gateway economics ($32/month EACH), VPC Endpoints to save data transfer costs, VPC Peering vs Transit Gateway decision guide. You'll understand what a /16 actually means.
T-family (burstable) vs C-family (compute) vs R-family (memory) vs Graviton ARM (20% cheaper). CPU credits, unlimited mode gotchas, and when to use what. Never over-provision again.
The most expensive decision in cloud is premature complexity. K8s IS justified with 15+ services and operational experience. It's UNNECESSARY—and costly—below 10 services. This lesson alone saves $800+/month.
State management is the #1 pain point. Terraform provisions infrastructure, not what runs on it. Where Terraform stops and Kubernetes/Helm/ArgoCD begins. Learn the boundary that most teams get wrong.
Your architecture scored against all 6 pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance, Cost Optimization, Sustainability. See exactly where your architecture falls short.
Reserved Instances (30% savings), Spot instances (70% savings), Savings Plans, Graviton ARM economics, S3 lifecycle policies. Save 30-70% on your AWS bill with decisions you make now.
Define your RTO and RPO. Multi-AZ failover, cross-region read replicas, Aurora Backtrack. Plus a DR testing strategy: chaos engineering, AZ failure simulation, tabletop exercises. Untested backups = no backups.
Logs (what happened), Metrics (how is it performing), Traces (where is the bottleneck). RED method, USE method, CloudWatch alarms that actually matter. Know what to monitor before you need it.
WAF rules (SQL injection, XSS, rate limiting), KMS encryption, Secrets Manager, IMDSv2 enforcement, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, VPC Flow Logs. Your generated code includes these by default.
What breaks at each scale and how to fix it. State corruption recovery, database failover, AZ outage response. The runbook you wish you had at 3 AM is now generated with your code.
Three steps. Each one teaches you something.
The script scans your AWS environment — existing VPCs, subnets, availability zones, and your public IP. It auto-selects your resources so you don't have to look them up. Pre-flight checks verify AWS CLI, Terraform, kubectl, and authentication.
10-15 questions about your architecture. Every question includes a built-in LESSON explaining the tradeoffs. Kubernetes vs ECS Fargate? The lesson shows you the cost difference before you decide. Wrong choice? The script tells you why.
60 seconds later: complete Terraform project with 70+ resources. But you also get: Architecture Decision Record, security audit, cost estimates, operational runbooks, CI/CD pipeline, and documentation. Production-ready AND you understand it.
This is not a toy. It generates production infrastructure with 70+ resources.
VPC (10.0.0.0/16), public + private subnets across 2+ AZs, NAT Gateway, Internet Gateway, VPC Flow Logs, VPC Endpoints (S3 + DynamoDB — FREE), route tables, network ACLs.
Application Load Balancer with HTTP→HTTPS redirect, TLS 1.3, WAFv2 with managed rules (SQL injection, XSS, IP reputation, rate limiting), S3 access logs with KMS encryption and 30-day lifecycle.
Launch Template with IMDSv2 enforced, EBS encryption, CloudWatch agent, SSM Session Manager (no SSH keys needed). Auto Scaling Group with CPU + request-count target tracking. Lifecycle hooks for graceful shutdown.
RDS PostgreSQL 15 Multi-AZ with 100GB gp3 storage, encryption at rest, automated backups (7-day retention), enhanced monitoring, parameter groups with query logging. Password auto-generated, never in code.
KMS customer-managed keys, Secrets Manager (DB credentials auto-rotated), IAM roles with least privilege (no *:*), security groups with cross-referencing, S3 bucket policies, public access blocks.
CloudWatch dashboards, alarms (CPU, 5xx errors, target health), log groups with KMS encryption. GitHub Actions workflow: terraform plan on PR, terraform apply on merge to main.
At $150/hr consulting rate. But the real savings are the mistakes you don't make.
$8,100+ SAVED IN CONSULTING TIME
Plus: Avoids $800-2,000/month in costly architecture mistakes
(EKS when ECS would work, wrong instance types, forgotten NAT gateways)
Cloud Architect Tutor pays for itself before you finish your first project
*Generation time; applying the Terraform may take a few additional minutes (e.g., EKS provisioning ~15-20 min).

"I thought I knew AWS well. Then the Kubernetes Decision Point lesson stopped me from deploying EKS for a 5-service app. The tool showed me ECS Fargate could handle it at half the cost. It saved me $800/month before I wrote a single line of Terraform."
— Alex R., Platform Engineering Lead
"I've been writing Terraform for 3 years. This tool taught me things I didn't know — like using for_each with security group rules and why IMDSv2 matters. The generated code is better than what I would have written. I use it to stay sharp."
— Michael S., Senior DevOps Engineer
"The Well-Architected Framework assessment alone is worth the price. It scored my architecture against all 6 pillars and showed me exactly where I was weak. The security lesson — WAF, KMS, GuardDuty — was stuff I'd been putting off for months. Now it's generated automatically."
— Sarah K., Cloud Architect
"Took me from zero to production EKS in one afternoon. But honestly, the real value is the LESSONS. The Terraform limitations deep-dive, the hybrid workflow explanation — these are things you only learn from years of painful experience. This tool gives you that experience in hours."
— David R., Platform Engineer

Basic Edition: MIT licensed • EC2 architecture • Built-in lessons
Upgrade to Pro for VPC, EKS, WAF, CI/CD, and 14 production scenarios.
Basic AWS CLI knowledge helps, but the script guides you through everything. The built-in LESSONS explain every decision. If you can run a Bash script, you can use this tool.
Yes. It includes WAF rules (SQL injection, XSS protection), KMS encryption, Secrets Manager, IAM least privilege, IMDSv2 enforcement, VPC Flow Logs, and multi-AZ deployment. The generated code follows AWS Well-Architected best practices.
Yes — any AWS region with EC2, EKS, and RDS support. The script auto-detects available AZs and lists your existing VPCs, subnets, and key pairs.
Absolutely — it's standard Terraform using the official AWS provider. The script creates a foundation; you modify variables.tf and terraform.tfvars to match your needs. The generated modules are clean, documented, and reusable.
Yes — Git Bash, WSL2, or any Bash 4+ environment. Tested on Windows 11, macOS, and Linux.
Lifetime updates included. The script uses provider versions pinned to ~> 5.0 (AWS) and follows Terraform best practices. I actively maintain this tool because I use it myself.
Absolutely. Book a 30-minute demo and I'll walk you through the tool with your own AWS environment. Great for teams evaluating the product.
Yes. $497 once. No subscription. No recurring fees. Lifetime updates. I built this tool because I needed it myself, and I want it to be accessible. The price reflects the value of saving 50+ hours per project, not a recurring revenue model.
And actually understand what you deployed.
