AWS | Amazon Web Services

What this skill does

Architects, debugs, secures, and cost-optimizes AWS infrastructure — EC2, Lambda, RDS, VPC, IAM, ECS, CloudFront. Use when deploying or reviewing anything on AWS, when a bill jumps or spend has to come down, when an AccessDenied, throttle, timeout, 502/503/504, or unreachable-database error has no obvious cause, when choosing between Lambda, Fargate, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, or EventBridge, when hardening IAM policies, S3 exposure, security groups, or secrets, when writing Terraform/CloudFormation/CDK against AWS, when auditing an account you inherited, or when a service quota, cold start, connection limit, or failover is the thing that broke. Covers VPC and subnet design, NAT versus VPC endpoints, Organizations and cross-account roles, backups and disaster recovery, and CLI/SSO profiles. Not for object-storage patterns in depth (`s3`), DynamoDB key modeling (`dynamodb`), Kubernetes manifest authoring (`k8s`), or Terraform language mechanics (`terraform`).
