# AWS Extension

The AWS Extension is DuploCloud's built-in application for AWS infrastructure lifecycle management. It gives teams a structured, AI-driven way to provision, operate, and troubleshoot AWS resources — from VPC networks and EKS clusters down to Kubernetes workloads and managed databases.

Whether you are connecting to infrastructure that already exists or building a new environment from scratch, the AWS Extension provides a consistent, auditable interface for every operation.

## What you can do

* **Connect to existing AWS environments** — attach your AWS accounts as Providers and immediately begin using AI to operate, troubleshoot, and optimize your infrastructure.
* **Provision new AWS infrastructure** — create VPC networks, EKS clusters, and environments through structured forms. The AI agent handles provisioning end-to-end and reports back with the results.
* **Deploy and manage applications** — create Kubernetes workloads, manage namespaces, configure secrets, and deploy managed databases inside your environments.
* **Customize to your standards** — override the default provisioning skills with your own to enforce organizational tagging policies, compliance requirements, or architectural patterns.
