"Do we have any security groups open to the internet?"
psychology
api Scanned 23 security groups across ap-southeast-2

Yes — 2 security groups allow SSH (port 22) from 0.0.0.0/0. This means anyone on the internet can attempt to connect.

sg-0a2f7e91 (prod-web-servers) CRITICAL

Inbound: TCP 22 (SSH) ← 0.0.0.0/0 — 4 instances attached

sg-1c8b3d42 (legacy-jumpbox) CRITICAL

Inbound: TCP 22 (SSH) ← 0.0.0.0/0 — 1 instance attached

Recommendation: Restrict SSH access to your office IP or VPN range. Neither group needs 0.0.0.0/0 for normal operation.

The AWS bill tripled and nobody knows why

You're staring at a Cost Explorer graph that looks like a hockey stick. Something changed, but there are 47 services running and you don't know where to start.

shield_question

Security groups you're afraid to touch

There are rules allowing 0.0.0.0/0 on ports you don't recognise. You want to fix them but you're terrified of breaking something in production.

mystery

EC2 instances nobody can explain

There are 12 running instances. You recognise 4 of them. The others have names like "test-2" and "DO-NOT-DELETE" and cost $800 a month combined.

notifications_active

CloudWatch alarms that mean nothing to you

You get pinged at 2am about "CPUUtilization exceeded threshold." Is this an emergency? You don't know, and neither does anyone else on the team.

The fix

Just ask. In plain English.

plainfra connects to your AWS account (read-only) and answers your questions by actually inspecting your infrastructure in real time.

visibility_off

Read-only. Always.

plainfra can inspect your infrastructure but cannot modify, delete, or create anything. Ever. It's architecturally impossible.

Australian-hosted

All processing happens in AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2). Your infrastructure data never leaves Australia.
