Infrastructure Reconnaissance

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Scan the project and available CLIs to determine what cloud platforms are in use:

# Check for IaC
find . -name '*.tf' -not -path './.terraform/*' 2>/dev/null
ls Pulumi.yaml cdk.json template.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Check for platform configs
cat wrangler.toml 2>/dev/null
cat fly.toml 2>/dev/null
ls vercel.json netlify.toml render.yaml 2>/dev/null
ls docker-compose.yml 2>/dev/null

# Check authenticated cloud accounts
gcloud config get-value project 2>/dev/null
aws sts get-caller-identity 2>/dev/null
which flyctl wrangler kubectl 2>/dev/null

If multiple platforms are detected, inventory all of them.

Step 1: Inventory All Resources

Run discovery commands for each detected platform:

GCP:

gcloud run services list --format="table(name,region,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud compute instances list --format="table(name,zone,machineType,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud sql instances list --format="table(name,region,tier,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud storage ls 2>/dev/null
gcloud dns managed-zones list --format="table(name,dnsName)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud compute addresses list --format="table(name,address,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud iam service-accounts list --format="table(email,disabled)" 2>/dev/null

AWS:

aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].{ID:InstanceId,Type:InstanceType,State:State.Name,Name:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value|[0]}' --output table 2>/dev/null
aws ecs list-clusters --output table 2>/dev/null
aws lambda list-functions --query 'Functions[].{Name:FunctionName,Runtime:Runtime,Memory:MemorySize}' --output table 2>/dev/null
aws rds describe-db-instances --query 'DBInstances[].{ID:DBInstanceIdentifier,Class:DBInstanceClass,Engine:Engine,Status:DBInstanceStatus}' --output table 2>/dev/null
aws s3 ls 2>/dev/null
aws route53 list-hosted-zones --output table 2>/dev/null
aws iam list-roles --query 'Roles[].{Name:RoleName,Created:CreateDate}' --output table 2>/dev/null

Fly.io:

fly apps list 2>/dev/null
fly postgres list 2>/dev/null

Cloudflare:

wrangler whoami 2>/dev/null

Also read all IaC files to catch resources that may not be queryable via CLI (e.g., resources in a different account or not yet applied).

Step 2: Map the Infrastructure

Organize findings into five categories:

Compute — What's Running:

• Service name, type (container, serverless, VM), size, region
• Current status (running, stopped, idle)
• Last deployed / updated if available

Networking — How It Connects:

• VPCs, subnets, peering connections
• Load balancers, CDN, DNS records
• Public vs private endpoints
• Firewall rules / security groups summary

Storage — Where Data Lives:

• Databases (type, size, backup status)
• Object storage buckets (size if available, public access?)
• Caches (Redis, Memcached)

IAM — Who Has Access:

• Service accounts and their roles
• Overly broad permissions flagged
• API keys or credentials found in IaC (flag as critical risk)

Cost — What It Costs Monthly:

• Estimate per resource category using public pricing
• Total estimated monthly spend

Step 3: Flag Risks

Mark resources with risk flags:

• UNTAGGED — no labels/tags, unclear ownership
• PUBLIC — exposed to the internet (intended or not)
• OVERSIZED — provisioned far beyond likely need
• SINGLE-ZONE — no redundancy, one failure away from downtime
• STALE — not updated in 90+ days, possibly abandoned
• OVERPRIVILEGED — IAM roles broader than needed
• NO-IAC — exists in cloud but not in any IaC files (drift risk)

Step 4: Present Inventory

Present as a structured inventory document. End with:

• Total resource count by category
• Top 3 risks to address first
• Whether IaC coverage is complete or if there's drift
• Recommended next steps (audit, cost optimization, security hardening)

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
