Advisory guidance for Amazon EKS architecture and configuration decisions — compute strategy, networking, security, reliability, cost, autoscaling, observability, multi-tenancy, and upgrade planning. Also answers Terraform configuration questions about terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks. Use for any EKS planning…
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…
Use whenever someone is designing or building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) or doing platform engineering on Amazon EKS — phrased as "build a developer platform", "self-service for developers", "golden paths", "IDP", or "set up Backstage / ArgoCD / Kargo". Covers the opinionated platform stack — developer…
Use whenever someone needs security or compliance guidance for Amazon EKS — phrased as "CIS Benchmark for EKS", "HIPAA / PCI-DSS / FedRAMP / SOC 2 / GDPR on EKS", "harden my EKS cluster", "Bottlerocket vs AL2023 vs RHEL/Ubuntu AMI", "EKS Pod Identity vs IRSA", "Access Entries vs aws-auth", "GuardDuty for EKS", "Pod…
Assess EKS cluster upgrade readiness — run automated checks across 8 areas (version, breaking changes, deprecated APIs, add-on compatibility, node readiness, workload risks, AWS Insights, upgrade plan), calculate a 0-100 readiness score with a hard-blocker override, and generate a markdown/HTML report with prioritized…
Add, configure, or modify GitOps addons on the PEEKS platform. Use when adding a new addon, enabling an addon on a cluster, configuring addon values, troubleshooting addon deployment, or modifying hub-config.yaml. Do NOT use for general kubectl troubleshooting — use troubleshoot-platform instead.
Troubleshoot Kro ResourceGraphDefinition (RGD) issues — stuck instances, ACK resource failures, IAM trust policy problems, resource conflicts. Use when a Kro instance is stuck INPROGRESS, ACK resources fail to sync, or RGD dependency chains are broken. Do NOT use for general platform troubleshooting — use…
Systematic troubleshooting for the PEEKS workshop platform — EKS clusters, Terraform state, ingress, load balancers, MCP tool failures, YAML validation. Use when something is broken, not deploying, or behaving unexpectedly. Also covers resource deletion safety. Do NOT use for KRO-specific issues — use troubleshoot-kro…
