How does this skill help reduce AWS bills?

The skill uses Cost Explorer and Pricing MCP servers to identify over-provisioned resources, suggest Savings Plans, and provide pre-deployment estimates to avoid unexpected costs.

Can I monitor application health in real-time?

Yes, it integrates with CloudWatch and Application Signals to track Service Level Objectives (SLOs), metrics, and logs for comprehensive application observability.

Does it support security and compliance auditing?

Absolutely. It utilizes CloudTrail to analyze API activity and the Well-Architected Security Assessment tool to evaluate your posture against AWS best practices.

Do I need to provide AWS credentials to use this skill?

Yes, full functionality requires configured AWS MCP servers which utilize your AWS credentials to pull real-time billing and infrastructure data.

Cloud Infrastructure

Optimizes AWS spending, monitors infrastructure performance, and conducts security audits through integrated MCP tools for billing, observability, and compliance.

About

This skill empowers Claude to manage complex AWS environments by integrating eight specialized MCP servers for real-time cost analysis, performance monitoring, and security auditing. It allows developers to estimate deployment costs using the AWS Pricing API, analyze historical spending patterns with Cost Explorer, and maintain operational excellence via CloudWatch metrics and CloudTrail activity logs. By bridging the gap between infrastructure management and financial oversight, this skill helps users implement Well-Architected best practices, identify significant cost-saving opportunities, and ensure robust application observability across various regions and services.
