# Infrastructure Designer

> Describe the AWS building blocks your app needs in plain language and provision them into a deployment from one conversation. Early access.

**Infrastructure Designer is in early access and not generally available.** It's enabled for a small set of accounts while we harden it. The page exists so early-access users have a reference; expect the surface to change before a public launch. If you don't see it in your dashboard, it isn't turned on for your account yet.

The **Infrastructure Designer** is a conversational way to add the AWS building blocks your app depends on, things like queues, buckets, and other managed services, without leaving Ownkube. You describe what you need in plain language and the Designer proposes the components, shows you exactly what it will create, and provisions them into your own AWS account once you confirm.

## How it works

1. **Connect an AWS account**

   The Designer provisions into your own account, so a connected and verified AWS account is required. If none is connected, the Designer prompts you to finish [AWS onboarding](/docs/guides/connect-aws) first.

2. **Start a design session**

   Open a session and describe what your app needs, for example "my worker needs a queue and a bucket for uploads." Each session is a saved conversation you can return to.

3. **Review the proposal**

   The Designer turns your request into a concrete set of components and shows them on a canvas before anything is created. Nothing is provisioned until you approve.

4. **Provision into a deployment**

   On confirmation, the components are created in your AWS account and wired to the deployment you're working with, so your app can use them straight away.

## What you get

- **Plain-language input.** Describe outcomes, not configuration. The Designer maps them to concrete AWS components.
- **Confirm before provisioning.** You always see the proposed components first. Provisioning only happens after you approve.
- **Scoped to your organization.** Sessions and the components they create belong to your organization and land in your own AWS account.
- **Deployment-aware.** Components can be attached to a specific deployment so your app picks them up.

## Early-access limits

- **Not generally available.** Access is gated and may be limited to specific environments while in early access.
- **AWS only.** The Designer provisions into AWS accounts you've connected.
- **Subject to change.** Component coverage, the proposal canvas, and provisioning behavior are still evolving.
