Which cloud providers does this skill support?

It includes specialized investigation patterns and heuristics for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Kubernetes clusters, including specific support for kOps.

What is Infrastructure Archaeology?

Infrastructure Archaeology is a systematic approach to investigating and documenting inherited cloud infrastructure where original documentation is missing or context is sparse.

How does it help with company mergers?

It identifies duplicate resources, overlapping CIDR ranges, and redundant pipelines that typically occur when multiple organizations combine their cloud footprints.

Can this skill help with security audits?

Yes, it specifically flags 'red flags' like broad RBAC grants, wide-open security groups, and orphaned IAM roles that represent security risks in legacy environments.

クラウドインフラストラクチャ

Systematically investigates and documents legacy or inherited cloud infrastructure to uncover design intent and technical debt.

This skill empowers engineers to navigate complex, undocumented cloud environments by treating infrastructure as an archaeological site. It provides structured frameworks for mapping AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes resources, identifying patterns from company mergers, and reverse-engineering the logic behind past architectural decisions. Whether you are untangling overlapping CIDR ranges, auditing kOps-managed clusters for EKS migration, or documenting 'black box' legacy systems, this tool helps you build a factual foundation while explicitly separating evidence from inference.
