AWS Well-Architected Agent is in preview release and is subject to change.
Updating an agent profile
You can update a profile's display name, description, pillars, execution role, aggregation configuration, deletion protection, and business overview at any time.
Console
To update a profile
-
Choose Agent profiles in the left-hand navigation.
-
Choose Actions on the profile, then Edit profile.
-
Update the fields you want to change.
-
Choose Save.
CLI
Important
When you update a profile using the API or CLI (UpdateAgentProfile), you
must specify all fields in the request, not only the fields you want to change. Any field
omitted from the update request is reset to its default value or cleared. The update
operation uses full replacement semantics (PUT), not partial update semantics (PATCH). The
console handles this automatically by pre-populating all current values.
To avoid unintentionally clearing fields, retrieve the current profile configuration first, modify the values you want to change, then pass the full object back:
# 1. Get the current profile configuration aws wellarchitected get-agent-profile \ --profile-arn "arn:aws:wellarchitected:us-east-1:111122223333:agent-profile/my-profile" # 2. Update the profile with all fields specified aws wellarchitected update-agent-profile \ --profile-arn "arn:aws:wellarchitected:us-east-1:111122223333:agent-profile/my-profile" \ --display-name "My Profile" \ --description "Profile description" \ --pillars COST_OPTIMIZATION SECURITY \ --execution-role-arn "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/MyExecutionRole" \ --aggregation-configuration '[{"accountId":"111122223333","regions":["us-east-1"],"accessRoleArn":"arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/MyRole"}]' \ --deletion-protection \ --business-overview "Overview of the business context"
