Aws Cloud Services

What it does

This skill provides guidance and assistance for building, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It covers a wide range of AWS services including S3 object storage, Lambda serverless functions, DynamoDB NoSQL databases, EC2 compute instances, RDS relational databases, IAM security, CloudFormation infrastructure as code, and enterprise-grade cloud architecture patterns. The skill also incorporates the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3, offering modularity and improved TypeScript support.

When to use it

• Building scalable cloud applications on AWS infrastructure.
• Implementing serverless architectures with Lambda and API Gateway.
• Managing object storage and file uploads with S3.
• Deploying EC2 instances and managing compute resources.
• Automating infrastructure deployment with CloudFormation.

Key capabilities

• Expertise in a wide range of AWS services (S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, EC2, RDS, IAM, CloudFormation).
• Understanding of core AWS concepts like Regions, Availability Zones, and account structures.
• Knowledge of enterprise-grade cloud architecture patterns.
• Utilization of the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 with its modular architecture and command pattern.

Example prompts
