aws-architect

aws-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,037 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing systems on AWS, Amazon's cloud platform, using services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, and CloudFormation. It starts with traffic, reliability, data, compliance, latency, and budget requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan AWS architectures, choose regions and hosting services, design VPC networks, place databases and applications, and define infrastructure with CloudFormation.
Why use it?
It helps match AWS services and network structure to the actual needs of an application. It also addresses regions, availability zones, private networks, resilience, and cost decisions.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-architect 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 9d ago.

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.

Workflow

1. Analyser le besoin

Recueillir les exigences avant tout choix de service :

  • Trafic : pic RPS, pattern (régulier / burst / batch)
  • SLA : RTO/RPO attendus (ex. RTO < 1h → multi-AZ obligatoire)
  • Données : volume, structure, latence acceptable, conformité (RGPD, PCI-DSS)
  • Budget : CapEx vs OpEx, réserves vs On-Demand

2. Choisir région et AZ

Critère Recommandation
Latence utilisateurs EU eu-west-1 (Irlande) ou eu-west-3 (Paris)
Conformité données françaises eu-west-3
Coût réduit (non-prod) us-east-1 (services les moins chers)
Résilience maximale 3 AZ min en production
# Lister les AZ disponibles dans une région
aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region eu-west-3 \
  --query 'AvailabilityZones[*].ZoneName'

3. Concevoir le VPC

Architecture en 3 couches minimale (prod) :

Internet → IGW → [Public subnet] ALB/NAT GW
                → [Private subnet] App (EC2/ECS/Lambda in VPC)
                → [Isolated subnet] RDS / ElastiCache

Règles de base :

  • CIDR /16 pour le VPC, /24 par sous-réseau (évite la pénurie d'IPs)
  • Un NAT Gateway par AZ pour la résilience (coût ~30 $/mois/AZ)
  • Security Groups stateful sur les ressources, NACLs stateless sur les sous-réseaux
  • VPC Flow Logs activés dès le départ
# Vérifier les flux inter-subnets refusés
aws logs filter-log-events \
  --log-group-name /aws/vpc/flowlogs \
  --filter-pattern "REJECT" \
  --limit 20

4. Choisir le service de calcul

Cas d'usage Service Critère de décision
API REST < 15 min, event-driven Lambda Pas de serveur à gérer, paiement à l'usage
Workload conteneurisé, long-running ECS Fargate Pas de gestion EC2, scaling automatique
Workload GPU / licences spécifiques EC2 Besoin de contrôle OS ou matériel spécifique
ML inference haute fréquence EC2 + Auto Scaling Latence maîtrisée, coût Savings Plan
Job batch parallèle AWS Batch File de jobs managée, optimisation spot

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.
