Run a structured EKS operational excellence assessment against a live cluster. Covers 10 areas — networking, autoscaling, observability, access & identity, add-ons, workload config, deployments, cluster lifecycle, IaC, operational processes — and produces a GREEN/AMBER/RED rated report with prioritized recommendations. Activate for any request to audit, review, health-check, or score an EKS cluster's operational posture, including section-scoped reviews of individual areas. Not for upgrade readiness, cluster discovery, or architectural design advice.

EKS Operation Review

This skill performs a structured 10-section operational assessment of a live EKS cluster, producing a rated report with prioritized recommendations.

When to use

Activate for any request to audit, review, health-check, or score an EKS cluster's operational posture — including section-scoped reviews of individual areas (e.g., "check my EKS networking", "review RBAC on my cluster").

Not for: upgrade readiness assessments, cluster discovery, or architectural design advice. General Kubernetes questions, AWS troubleshooting, cluster creation, and one-off kubectl commands should be handled directly without this skill.

Instructions

Read and follow ~/.claude/apex-steering/workflows/eks-operation-review.md — it contains the full workflow, tool usage rules, and steering file map. Load each steering file from references/ before running its corresponding section.

Prerequisites

AWS credentials with EKS read access
Python 3.10+ and uv installed
EKS MCP server configured (see the eks-mcp-server skill for setup); apex does not ship a project-root .mcp.json

eks-cost-intelligence

aws-samples/sample-apex-skills

EKS cost efficiency assessment — 6-dimension analysis, weighted 0-100 Cost Score, and dollar-quantified remediation report. Analyzes compute efficiency, Spot/Graviton adoption, networking, storage, observability, and idle resources. Triggers on cost audit, cost review, cost driver analysis, FinOps assessment, spending efficiency, waste identification, over-provisioned workloads, or cost attribution by namespace. Combines live Cost Explorer data, CloudWatch utilization metrics, and Kubernetes resource analysis.

eks-security

aws-samples/sample-apex-skills

EKS security and compliance assessment — 7-layer hardening stack, CIS/HIPAA/PCI/FedRAMP/SOC2/GDPR audit prep, and 30/60/90 roadmap. Covers OS/AMI selection (Bottlerocket, AL2023, RHEL, Ubuntu), identity (EKS Pod Identity vs IRSA, Access Entries vs aws-auth), workload security (Pod Security Admission, Kyverno/OPA, NetworkPolicy, Security Groups for Pods), image supply chain (ECR scanning, Cosign/Notation signing), runtime detection (GuardDuty, Falco), audit logging, etcd / secrets encryption, and compliance accelerators (Audit Manager, Config, Security Hub). Triggers on CIS Benchmark, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, GDPR compliance, cluster hardening, audit-prep, or any regulated-workload assessment. Does not cover non-EKS platforms (ECS/ROSA), account-level security with no EKS angle, or GenAI-workload security.

eks-cost-intelligence

aws-samples/sample-apex-skills

Run a live EKS cluster cost efficiency assessment — analyze spending across 6 dimensions (compute efficiency, Spot/Graviton adoption, networking, storage, observability, idle resources), calculate a weighted 0-100 Cost Score, and generate a prioritized report with dollar-quantified findings and ready-to-apply remediation snippets. Use this skill when someone asks "how much am I wasting on EKS?", "run a cost audit on my cluster", "what's my biggest cost driver?", "analyze my cluster's cost efficiency", or needs dollar-denominated findings for a FinOps review — even if they don't say "cost intelligence" or "score". Combines live Cost Explorer data, CloudWatch utilization metrics, and Kubernetes resource analysis. Falls back to AWS CLI and kubectl when the EKS MCP server is unavailable. Distinct from eks-best-practices (static advisory guidance), eks-operation-review (operational health), and eks-recon (cluster discovery).

ecs-recon

aws-samples/sample-apex-skills

ECS environment reconnaissance and discovery. Detects compute and capacity providers, task definitions, deployment configuration, auto scaling, networking, security posture, observability, and IaC/CI-CD tooling. Use when someone asks about their ECS environment, wants to describe a cluster, inspect a service, or document task definitions — even without naming the skill. Applies to Amazon ECS, not Amazon EKS (use eks-recon). Discovers current state only — does not score, audit, or design. Skip for operational audits and GREEN/AMBER/RED scoring (ecs-operation-review), deployment-model design, launch-type selection, and ECS best practices (ecs-architect), deployment strategy design and CI/CD engineering (ecs-devops), GPU/ML workloads (ecs-genai), security and compliance (ecs-security), cost/TCO (ecs-cost-intelligence, once available), observability design (ecs-observability), and replatform/migration (ecs-modernize, once available).

steering-workflow-creator

aws-samples/sample-apex-skills

Author a new steering workflow for any AWS service and pair it with a matching slash-command shim. Use when the user asks to create a steering workflow, add a workflow to apex, standardize steering, write a new workflow for EKS / RDS / Lambda / IAM / any AWS service, or build a phased playbook that plugs into a service hub. Covers the convention (frontmatter, header block, required sections), tool routing (knowledge vs. live MCP vs. setup-bridge), and the lint pass before handoff.

ecs-architect

aws-samples/sample-apex-skills

Use when choosing and architecting an Amazon ECS deployment model for a NEW workload — Fargate vs ECS on EC2 vs Managed Instances vs Express Mode vs ECS Anywhere/External — plus capacity-provider strategy, task sizing, awsvpc/ENI density, networking, service parameters, and launch-type or topology migration (EC2 launch type to capacity providers/Managed Instances; Service Discovery to Service Connect). Also the shared ECS best-practices corpus. Triggers include "which ECS launch type", "Fargate or EC2", "should I use Managed Instances", "migrate off EC2 launch type", "App Mesh to Service Connect", "migrate off App Runner". Skip for existing-app replatform (ecs-modernize); auditing a live estate (ecs-operation-review); cost/TCO (ecs-cost-intelligence); inventory (ecs-recon); security (ecs-security); deployment/CICD (ecs-devops); observability (ecs-observability); GPU/ML design AND GPU launch-type choice (ecs-genai); Kubernetes/EKS (eks-design); Terraform generation of a settled design (use ecs-build).
