Cloud platform architecture research
Get evidence-based comparisons of AWS, GCP, and Azure services for specific use cases — multi-region databases, serverless compute, managed Kubernetes — with latency benchmarks and compliance certifications cited.
Compare AWS Aurora Global Database, Google Spanner, and Azure Cosmos DB for a financial application requiring strong global consistency, sub-10ms reads in 3 regions, and PCI-DSS compliance.
Spanner: true external consistency across regions, 5ms p50 read globally, native PCI-DSS. Aurora Global: 1s RPO cross-region, 5ms local reads (primary region) + ~100ms secondary region reads — not truly synchronous. Cosmos DB: configurable consistency levels, 10ms SLA globally, PCI-DSS certified. For strong global consistency: Spanner is the only option. For cost-sensitive PCI app with regional primacy: Aurora Global.
Infrastructure architecture diagrams
Generate multi-region cloud architecture diagrams, VPC network topologies, and data flow diagrams for RFCs, customer trust documentation, and engineering onboarding. Get Mermaid output that renders in GitHub PRs.
Create an AWS architecture diagram: 2-region active-active setup, Route 53 latency routing → CloudFront → ALB in each region → ECS Fargate → Aurora Global Database (writer in us-east-1, reader in eu-west-1) + ElastiCache Redis cluster.
Generated Mermaid diagram with 12 nodes. Route 53 latency policy shown as conditional branch to us-east-1 vs eu-west-1 stacks. Aurora Global cross-region replication shown with dashed arrow and RPO annotation. CloudFront distribution shown as shared layer above both regions. ElastiCache shown per-region with no cross-region replication.

Security posture auditing
Audit your cloud-hosted endpoints for security header misconfigurations, TLS version weaknesses, and information disclosure in response headers. Catch gaps before your SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit does.
Audit https://myapp.com, https://api.myapp.com, and https://admin.myapp.com for security headers and TLS configuration issues.
myapp.com: HSTS max-age 3600 (too low, should be 31536000), Server header exposes nginx/1.24. api.myapp.com: CORS allows * on /webhook endpoints, missing X-Content-Type-Options. admin.myapp.com: TLSv1.0 still enabled (should be disabled), missing CSP. Priority: disable TLS 1.0 on admin, tighten CORS on API, set HSTS max-age to 1 year.
ToolRouter scan_url
myapp.com — HSTS
max-age=3600 — too low (need 31536000)
api.myapp.com — CORS
Wildcard on /webhook — tighten immediately
admin.myapp.com — TLS
TLSv1.0 enabled — disable immediately
admin.myapp.com — CSP
Missing Content-Security-Policy header
Priority
Disable TLS 1.0 on admin → tighten CORS → raise HSTS max-age
SSL and DNS health monitoring
Check SSL certificate expiry dates, DNS record accuracy, and WHOIS registration status across all your cloud-hosted domains. A certificate that expires over a holiday weekend causes the same outage as a server failure.
Check SSL expiry and DNS health for: myapp.com, api.myapp.com, admin.myapp.com, cdn.myapp.com, staging.myapp.com. Flag anything expiring in 30 days or pointing to stale records.
myapp.com: SSL expires in 12 days (URGENT). api.myapp.com: healthy, 87 days. admin.myapp.com: CNAME points to deleted ALB DNS name (dangling record). cdn.myapp.com: healthy. staging.myapp.com: SSL expired 3 days ago. Actions: renew myapp.com cert, remove admin CNAME, renew staging cert.
ToolRouter check_dns
myapp.com
SSL expires in 12 days — URGENT
api.myapp.com
Healthy · 87 days remaining
admin.myapp.com
CNAME → deleted ALB (dangling record)
cdn.myapp.com
Healthy · 142 days remaining
staging.myapp.com
SSL expired 3 days ago
Infrastructure CVE scanning
Check Terraform providers, Helm charts, and Kubernetes operators for CVEs before deploying updates. Infrastructure tools run with elevated permissions — a vulnerability in a Terraform provider can expose cloud credentials.
Check these infrastructure packages for CVEs: hashicorp/terraform@1.7.5, helm@3.14.3, cert-manager@1.14.4, ingress-nginx@1.10.0, external-secrets@0.9.12.
ingress-nginx@1.10.0: CVE-2024-7646 (CVSS 8.8) — annotation injection allowing cluster-level privilege escalation. Upgrade to 1.11.2 immediately. Others: clean. Terraform, cert-manager, external-secrets all pass. Ingress-nginx is a critical upgrade — it runs as a privileged DaemonSet.

IaC framework documentation
Fetch version-specific Terraform, Pulumi, and CDK documentation without digging through outdated blog posts. Get exact resource configurations, provider API changes, and migration guides for the version you are running.
Fetch Terraform 1.7 docs on the new import block — how to generate config from existing resources and migrate state without a plan change.
Terraform 1.7 import block: add import { to = aws_instance.example, id = "i-1234567890abcdef0" } to any .tf file, then run terraform plan to see generated config. Use -generate-config-out=generated.tf to write the resource config. Requires provider support for resource type. No state manipulation needed — state updated on apply.

Audit security headers
Audit https://myapp.com, https://api.myapp.com, and https://admin.myapp.com for: HSTS max-age, Content-Security-Policy, CORS configuration, TLS version, X-Frame-Options, and whether Server headers expose software versions.
Check SSL and DNS health
Check SSL expiry dates and DNS records for myapp.com, api.myapp.com, cdn.myapp.com, admin.myapp.com. Flag any certs expiring in 30 days, dangling CNAMEs, or missing DNSSEC.
Scan Helm charts for CVEs
Check for CVEs in: ingress-nginx@1.10.0, cert-manager@1.14.4, external-secrets@0.9.12, kube-prometheus-stack@58.0, cluster-autoscaler@1.29. Flag anything with CVSS 7+.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Deep Research cite specific cloud vendor benchmarks and compliance certifications?
Yes. Deep Research synthesizes official vendor documentation, independent benchmarks, and engineering blog posts. For compliance questions, it cites certification pages and audit scope documentation from AWS, GCP, and Azure directly.
Can Diagram Generator produce AWS, GCP, or Azure architecture diagrams with service-specific icons?
Diagram Generator outputs Mermaid and PlantUML source code. Mermaid diagrams use shapes and labels rather than vendor icons. For AWS icon-style diagrams, the output can be imported into draw.io where AWS icon libraries are available. The diagram structure and relationships are the primary value.
How often should I run the DNS and SSL health check?
Set up a weekly automated check of all production domains, and a daily check on domains with certificates expiring within 45 days. The DNS & Domain tool catches cert expirations and dangling DNS records that your monitoring systems may not alert on.
Can the Vulnerability Database scan Helm chart dependencies, not just the chart version?
The Vulnerability Database searches by package name and version. For Helm charts, you can check both the chart version (e.g., ingress-nginx@1.10.0) and the underlying Docker image packages. For container image scanning, list the system package names and versions from your image manifest.
Does Library Docs cover all major Terraform providers, not just the AWS provider?
Library Docs fetches documentation from the official Terraform Registry and provider documentation. It covers all major providers including AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Helm, and Datadog. Specify the provider name and version for accurate, version-matched docs.
