What is aws-eks-healthdashboard?

A read-only monitor for the current health of an Amazon EKS cluster. EKS is Amazon's managed service for running Kubernetes, a system that schedules containers across servers.

Use it to check cluster and add-on status, Kubernetes version support, API-server and scheduler signals, node and pod conditions, storage and network health, and upgrade-related findings.

It brings together cluster, control-plane, node, network, storage, and add-on signals so an operator can assess health without changing the cluster. It uses AWS logs and metrics for the managed control plane rather than relying only on kubectl.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00235	$0.04022
Opus 5.5	$0.00094	$0.01609
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00047	$0.00804
Haiku 4.5	$0.00023	$0.00402

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-eks-healthdashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

EKS Health Dashboard — DevOps Agent Skill

What this skill is

A focused, read-only EKS health monitor. It answers "is this cluster healthy right now?" across three domains and grades every signal it can observe:

Cluster, Version & Add-on Health — cluster status + health.issues, Kubernetes version & extended-support state, EKS managed add-on health (DEGRADED/failed + health.issues), whether core components (CoreDNS/kube-proxy/VPC CNI/CSI) are actually running, EKS Cluster Insights (upgrade/config/rollback), and Node Monitoring Agent enablement (CA-series).
Control Plane Health — etcd size/growth, APF throttling, API-server 5xx + LIST latency, write-path/verb latency, apiserver outbound-client errors, watch pressure, KCM backpressure, scheduler lag, eviction stalls (CP1–CP11 + the metric-native CP-M1–CP-M9). The control plane is AWS-managed, so these come from CloudWatch Logs Insights (audit log) + CloudWatch metrics, never kubectl.
Node & Data-Plane Health — node conditions, node & pod utilization, EC2 instance status, ENA network allowances, EBS volume performance, NAT gateway, CoreDNS, Karpenter, Node Monitoring Agent conditions, a workload/pod health rollup, and the AWS-side nodegroup/registration facts (NH-series).

It reviews all available metrics: it detects which observability sources are enabled and fans out across them (CloudWatch Logs, Container Insights, native EKS metrics, AMP / in-cluster Prometheus, Datadog / New Relic / Dynatrace / Splunk), cross-validating where more than one covers a signal. Output is a health dashboard artifact, not a best-practices audit — for the full 9-pillar review use the aws-eks-operations-review skill.

Read this skill and the reference files it names in full — do not distill/summarize them; the queries, thresholds, and check definitions live in the reference files. Load each with the runtime's resource-reading tool (in AWS DevOps Agent, read_skill_resource).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
