aws-cloud-architecture — Claude Code skill: features and setup
Plan AWS infrastructure with guidance on compute, storage, security, serverless services, and costs. Useful when designing or configuring a cloud architecture.
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill aws-cloud-architecture -a claude-codeWhat aws-cloud-architecture does
This guide covers AWS compute, storage, databases, networking, and security through the AWS Well-Architected Framework. It also addresses monitoring, resilience, disaster recovery, and cost management. Included examples show CloudFormation templates for EC2 and Auto Scaling, plus an AWS CLI command for listing instance types.
Use the skill to work through architecture choices and draft infrastructure templates. You’ll need basic cloud computing knowledge, an AWS account with suitable permissions, a configured AWS CLI, and familiarity with YAML or JSON. The CLI examples depend on AWS CLI being configured first.
What it helps with
- design AWS infrastructure around Well-Architected guidance
- draft a CloudFormation template for an EC2 instance
- configure Auto Scaling for an instance group
- compare AWS storage and database approaches
- plan monitoring and recovery after a failure
Example prompts for the agent
- Design an AWS architecture for a web app using EC2 and Auto Scaling.
- Draft a CloudFormation template for an EC2 web server.
- How should I plan monitoring and disaster recovery in AWS?
