Can this skill deploy my application code?

No, this skill is specifically for infrastructure maintenance. You should use a dedicated 'deploy' skill for application code deployments.

What are the requirements to use this skill?

You must have the EB CLI (awsebcli) and AWS CLI installed, along with valid AWS credentials configured in your environment.

How does the skill handle platform migrations?

It facilitates blue/green migrations by cloning the existing environment, allowing for platform selection, and then swapping CNAMEs once testing is complete.

Does it support scheduled updates?

Yes, it allows you to configure ManagedActionsEnabled, PreferredStartTime, and UpdateLevel (patch or minor) to automate platform maintenance.
