AWS

Use AWS Well-Architected as the provider-native lens, then add the cross-provider sovereignty, evidence and cost controls that a multi-cloud estate needs.

  • Well-Architected, extended
  • Framework control coverage
  • 94 controls with provider-specific checks

What Wombat adds to the provider view.

AWS gives teams a strong opinionated framework. Wombat does not replace it. It adds a provider-neutral baseline so the same workload can be assessed consistently when it also touches Azure, GCP, STACKIT, OVHcloud or Hetzner Cloud.

The current framework control pack includes 94 controls with AWS-specific checks.

Context

Wombat's multi-provider Terraform coverage includes AWS alongside Azure, GCP, STACKIT, OVHcloud and Hetzner Cloud (framework v1.1.0).

Context

Use the comparison page to see where AWS Well-Architected and Wombat overlap, and where Wombat adds sovereignty and evidence coverage.

Context

The scorecard and CI action work with the same control model you use on the other providers.

AWS quickstart

Start with a pinned AWS provider, then run the same control pack you use on the other providers.

main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.6.0"
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.40"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-central-1"
}
terminal
wombat check . --output json

Set AWS credentials through the standard AWS environment variables or profile. Pin the provider version to the one approved in your platform.
