Where Infrastructure
as Code meets
reality
Stop jumping between cloud consoles and IaC files. Atlas is a native desktop platform to explore your AWS resources visually, detect infrastructure drift between Terraform and what's actually deployed, and govern multiple accounts — all in one place. Azure support coming soon.
Visibility, drift detection
and governance
Cloud consoles show resources. Infrastructure as Code shows desired state. Atlas connects both worlds — so you know what's deployed, what changed, and what needs attention.
Drift Detection
See exactly where reality diverges from your Terraform. Atlas runs plans against live AWS and surfaces what was added, changed or removed outside of code.
Visual Infrastructure Explorer
Navigate your AWS resources visually — EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch and more — without jumping across dozens of cloud-provider screens.
Terraform Import & Stacks
Discover existing resources, pick what to manage, and Atlas writes the import blocks for you. Run init, plan and apply with live streaming output.
Infrastructure as Code Generation
Generate clean, ready-to-use HCL from your live resources. Atlas-managed markers let you regenerate safely without touching your hand-written code.
Multi-Account & Multi-Cloud
Register multiple AWS accounts and switch between them instantly. Credentials are encrypted locally. Azure support is coming soon.
Fast Native Desktop
Pure WPF with full dark mode. No Electron, no browser. Native performance, minimal memory footprint and an integrated Monaco code editor.
Stop jumping between
consoles and IaC files
The console shows what's deployed. Your Terraform shows what should be deployed. Reconciling the two means tabs, terminals and guesswork. Atlas brings them into one view.
Atlas
|
Console + CLI | |
|---|---|---|
| Drift detection | Visual plan diff | Manual terraform plan |
| Live state vs IaC | Side by side | Separate tools |
| Import existing resources to Terraform | Guided, auto-generated | Hand-written blocks |
| Visual resource explorer | Scattered across pages | |
| Run init / plan / apply | In-app, live output | Terminal only |
| Multi-account switching | 1 click, instant | Re-login / profile juggling |
| Credentials stored | Local, DPAPI-encrypted | Browser session / files |
| Native desktop experience | WPF, no browser | Browser + terminal |
| Cost | Free (beta) | Free (AWS account required) |
Atlas works alongside Terraform and the AWS console — it gives DevOps teams a single place to see live state, detect drift and manage Infrastructure as Code. It does not replace your CI/CD pipeline.
Operations & security in one place
Beyond infrastructure state, Atlas centralizes the operational signals DevOps teams rely on. Every feature is free during the public beta — no license key, no limits.
CloudWatch Alarms
View all your alarms with status KPIs (ALARM / OK / INSUFFICIENT_DATA). Filter by state with one click and search by name. Catch problems before they become incidents.
GuardDuty Findings
Track security threats detected by GuardDuty in real time. Filter by severity (High / Medium / Low) and view the full context of each finding.
IAM & Security
Manage IAM users, roles and policies. Quickly identify excessive permissions and opportunities to harden your security posture.
Billing & Costs
Track spending by service and identify where your money is going. Cost insights to avoid surprises at the end of the month.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Credentials are stored locally in a SQLite database on your machine and are never sent to any external server. Atlas has no backend — it communicates directly with the AWS SDK on your computer.
Atlas is currently Windows-exclusive, built with WPF (.NET 9). Support for other operating systems may be considered in future versions as demand grows.
Permissions vary depending on which features you use. At minimum, the IAM user needs read access for the desired services (ec2:Describe*, s3:List*, etc.). For EC2 bulk actions, write permissions such as ec2:StartInstances and ec2:StopInstances are required.
Yes. Atlas supports multiple regions and you can switch between them in settings. The AWS SDK is initialized per region and clients are cached for maximum performance.
During beta, all updates are free and included automatically. New AWS services and features are added continuously based on user feedback.
Infrastructure drift is the gap between what your Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) declares and what is actually deployed in your cloud account. Atlas runs terraform plan against your live AWS environment and shows you exactly what was added, changed or removed outside of code — so you can keep your IaC aligned with reality and avoid surprises.
Yes. Atlas discovers existing resources across 35+ types (EC2, S3, VPC, RDS, Lambda, IAM, ECS/EKS and more), lets you select which ones to manage, then generates Terraform import blocks and HCL definitions for you. It can also provision an S3 remote state backend automatically.
Atlas currently focuses on AWS. Multi-cloud support, starting with Azure, is on the roadmap so DevOps teams can manage infrastructure across providers from a single interface.
Yes. Atlas is completely free during the public beta. All features — visual resource explorer, drift detection, Terraform import, IaC generation, multi-account management, CloudWatch, GuardDuty, IAM and Billing — are available with no license key required.
Atlas connects the two worlds. Cloud consoles show what is deployed; Infrastructure as Code shows the desired state. Atlas gives you a native desktop interface to explore live resources, detect drift between them and your Terraform, and run init/plan/apply — without jumping between dozens of console pages and IaC files. It works alongside your existing CI/CD pipeline.
Yes. You can register an unlimited number of AWS accounts — each with its own access key, secret key and default region — and switch between them instantly from the top bar. All credentials are encrypted locally with Windows DPAPI and never leave your machine.
Atlas itself requires no browser — it is a native Windows desktop application. An internet connection is required to communicate with the AWS APIs. Data is cached locally for 30 seconds, so brief network interruptions do not disrupt your view.
No. Atlas is built with WPF (.NET 9) — a truly native Windows UI framework. There is no Chromium instance, no Node.js runtime and no JavaScript bundler. This means significantly lower memory usage and instant startup times compared to Electron-based desktop apps.
