Is pre-deployment cost estimation possible?

Yes, the integrated AWS Pricing MCP server allows you to calculate the expected cost of services like Lambda, EC2, or RDS before you provision them.

Does it support security and compliance audits?

Absolutely. The skill uses CloudTrail for activity logs and the Well-Architected Security Assessment tool to identify vulnerabilities and suggest improvements.

Can I monitor application health with this skill?

Yes, it integrates with CloudWatch and AWS Managed Prometheus to track metrics, query logs, and monitor service-level objectives (SLOs) in real-time.

What monitoring tools are included?

The skill includes MCP servers for CloudWatch, CloudWatch Application Signals, and AWS Managed Prometheus, covering metrics, logs, traces, and container monitoring.

How does this skill help reduce AWS costs?

It utilizes the Cost Explorer and Pricing MCP servers to identify spending trends, forecast future costs, and provide right-sizing recommendations for over-provisioned resources.
