Natural language infrastructure queries
Annie Knowledge turns your infrastructure data into a queryable assistant. Ask in plain English. Get an answer in seconds. Annie understands context. Ask “Why can’t I access this RDS?” and Annie traces security groups, IAM policies, VPC configurations, and network ACLs to find the actual blocker. No console-hopping required.Versioned graph backbone
The answers run on a versioned graph spanning cloud, code, containers, and monitoring. State is queryable across the last 7 days. Updates land in near real-time, typically within 60 seconds of a control-plane change. The methodology is documented in Agentic Context Engineering, accepted at ICLR 2026. The same loop runs in production today.Connected data sources
Annie correlates data from all your connected integrations:| Source Type | Examples | What Annie Knows |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Providers | AWS, GCP | Live resource state, configurations, relationships |
| Infrastructure as Code | GitHub, GitLab repos | Terraform modules, resource definitions, variables |
| Terraform State | S3, HCP Terraform | Actual deployed state, outputs, dependencies |
| Monitoring | Datadog | Monitors, dashboards, host mappings |
| Containers | Kubernetes | Pods, deployments, services, RBAC |
Cross-source graph correlation
Annie’s real power comes from correlating across these sources. Ask questions like:- “Show me EC2 instances that exist in AWS but aren’t in Terraform”: finds orphaned resources
- “Which Datadog monitors are watching this EC2 instance?”: links cloud to monitoring
- “What Terraform module manages this Kubernetes deployment?”: traces code to containers
Onboarding context
Onboarding a New Engineer
Onboarding a New Engineer
- “What are our core services and how are they connected?”
- “Who is responsible for the payment service?”
- “What dashboards should I bookmark for on-call?”
- “Draw a map of our cloud architecture”
Incident Response
Incident Response
- “What changed in production in the last 2 hours?”
- “Show me the history of this RDS instance since yesterday”
- “Which services depend on the database that’s having issues?”
- “Why can’t the API reach the database?”
Pre-Change Impact Analysis
Pre-Change Impact Analysis
- “What would be affected if I update this security group?”
- “List all resources that depend on this VPC”
- “Which Terraform modules reference this IAM role?”
- “Show me the blast radius for this change”
Security Audit
Security Audit
- “List all S3 buckets with public access”
- “Which IAM roles have admin privileges but no MFA?”
- “Find security groups allowing 0.0.0.0/0 on port 22”
- “Are there any unencrypted databases?”
Cost Investigation
Cost Investigation
- “Which EC2 instances aren’t managed by Terraform?”
- “Find resources without cost-center tags”
- “List idle resources in the staging environment”
- “What GPU instances do we have running?”
Pre-change blast radius
Change-impact queries run against the live graph. Ask “what depends on this security group?” and Annie traverses dependents across EC2, RDS, ELB, and Lambda VPC configs. The same traversal underpins AWS IAM best practices on least-privilege scoping: you cannot scope safely without knowing the full dependency set.Tag and cost queries
Untagged resources are the dominant source of cost-allocation drift. AWS tagging best practices recommends mandatory tags on every billable resource. Annie surfaces untagged resources in one query: “Find resources without cost-center tags.” The same query type catches drift in Kubernetes RBAC: “Which service accounts have cluster-admin?” and “Which roles haven’t been bound in 30 days?“7-day state history
Every node in the graph is versioned. Ask about state at any point in the last 7 days. “What did the security group look like yesterday at 14:00?” returns the exact configuration, not a reconstruction.How to access Annie
