Is this representation made available to SI users? Do I have clear overview of it? I've accepted that it isn't api calls.

Yeah, in all sorts of ways. You can look at it in a Grid of components. You can look at it in a Map, seeing all the relationships. You can look at it via an API. You can have an AI Agent summarize it for you. It's super transparent.
The way I think about it is like this:
We want a representation that is as close as possible to what actually is in AWS. That way any proposed changes have a high probability of success when they are applied. SI's approach keeps an extremely up to date representation of what's in AWS.
Why do we need a representation and not just go directly to the AWS API? Among other items, it removes the capability of reviewing changes before they are applied. It gives us a safety net if you will.
