This project is an infrastructure as code tool designed to automate the lifecycle management of Amazon Web Services resources. It functions as a cloud resource provisioner that enables users to define, version, and deploy infrastructure components through declarative configuration files.
The system operates by reconciling the current state of a cloud environment against a desired configuration, calculating the necessary delta operations to achieve convergence. It utilizes a directed acyclic graph to resolve resource dependencies and determine the optimal execution order for changes, ensuring that infrastructure is created or modified in the correct sequence.
The provider enforces strict schema-driven validation on all configuration inputs to maintain data integrity before dispatching requests to cloud service APIs. It supports multi-environment management, allowing for consistent infrastructure deployment across various accounts and regions. The project is distributed as a plugin that communicates with the core infrastructure engine via a standardized protocol.
