aws-network-monitoring
Installs, configures, and troubleshoots Network Flow Monitor agents on EC2 instances to monitor network path health. Covers agent installation, IAM permissions, monitoring network paths, and troubleshooting agents reporting no metrics, HTTP 403 errors, or connectivity failures.
Resumen
AWS Network Monitoring
Overview
Domain expertise for installing and configuring Amazon CloudWatch Network Flow Monitor agents on EC2 instances. Covers IAM permission setup, agent installation via SSM Distributor or command-line install, agent activation, verification, and troubleshooting.
Network Flow Monitor agents are lightweight software that publish performance metrics (latency, packet loss) to the Network Flow Monitor backend, enabling monitoring of network path health between workloads.
Works best with the AWS MCP server — enables running SSM commands, attaching IAM policies, and validating agent status directly. All guidance also works with standard AWS CLI access.

Security Considerations
- Least-privilege IAM: Attach only
CloudWatchNetworkFlowMonitorAgentPublishPolicyfor publishing metrics andAmazonSSMManagedInstanceCorefor SSM management. Do not use*FullAccesspolicies. - Private subnets: When the instance is in a private subnet, prefer VPC endpoints for SSM (
com.amazonaws.<region>.ssm,.ssmmessages,.ec2messages) over a NAT gateway to keep traffic on the AWS network. - Credential storage: Never embed AWS credentials on the instance; the publish policy MUST be attached to the instance role, not configured as static keys.
- Audit trail: Ensure CloudTrail is enabled in the account so SSM
SendCommandinvocations and IAMAttachRolePolicyactions performed during agent setup are logged for security investigations. - References: CloudWatch Network Flow Monitor security, IAM best practices

- aws-iamawsProvides verified corrections for IAM behaviors that AI agents frequently get wrong — policy evaluation edge cases, trust policy gotchas, STS session limits, Organizations quirks, and SAML/MFA specifics. Also provides structured workflows for IAM role management and baseline policy generation from application source code or a Terraform plan JSON. Covers condition operator safety (ForAnyValue/ForAllValues with Null checks), bucket policy deny patterns (VPC endpoint restrictions, org paths), confused deputy protection, and service role creation for AWS services (Glue, CloudTrail, Lambda, ECS, etc.) with aws:SourceAccount/aws:SourceArn trust conditions. Applies when creating IAM roles, writing IAM or bucket policies, generating policies from application source code or a Terraform plan JSON, working with STS, Organizations, or condition operators, or any task needing a service or execution role. Does not cover non-IAM authorization like Cognito user-pool policies or app-level RBAC.9,200 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-serverlessawsBuilds, deploys, manages, debugs, configures, and optimizes serverless applications on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SAM/CDK. Covers cold starts, CORS debugging, event source mappings, troubleshooting, concurrency, SnapStart, Powertools, function URLs, EventBridge Scheduler, Lambda layers, and production readiness. Triggers on mentions of Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SAM templates, CDK serverless stacks, DynamoDB stream triggers, SQS event sources, cold starts, timeouts, 502/504 errors, throttling, concurrency, CORS, Powertools, or any event-driven architecture on AWS, even without the word "serverless." Does not apply to EC2, ECS/Fargate containers, or Amplify hosting.9,000 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-observabilityawsBuilds, configures, debugs, and optimizes AWS observability - operator-symptom questions and detecting Omni vs classic CloudWatch. CloudWatch on an already-reporting service: Log Insights, metric/composite/anomaly alarms, custom metrics/EMF, dashboards, X-Ray/ADOT tracing, canaries, CloudTrail, Dynamic Instrumentation (live breakpoints/snapshots), the Application Signals service map, and fleet health views. CloudWatch Omni on an existing Space: SQL over logs and traces, PromQL over metrics, Omni dashboards, Omni alerts, context graph for root cause, programmatic/IaC access (API/SDK/CLI/CloudFormation), driving Omni from a coding agent or skills, and evaluating AI agent quality from traces - on-demand and online scoring of live traffic, readback, custom evaluators. For first-time setup - creating an Omni Space, granting access, ingestion, or ADOT instrumentation for Application Signals (ServiceEvents, CI/CD metadata) or Omni - use setting-up-cloudwatch-observability. Not for app logging or threat detection.8,900 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-cdkawsAuthors, deploys, and troubleshoots AWS infrastructure using CDK with TypeScript or Python. Covers best practices, stack architecture, and construct patterns. Applies when writing CDK constructs, bootstrapping environments, running cdk deploy/synth/diff, fixing CDK or CloudFormation errors, planning stack structure, importing existing resources, resolving drift, or refactoring stacks without resource replacement.8,400 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-containersawsBuilds and deploys containerized workloads on Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Elastic Container Service (ECS), Fargate, and ECR (Elastic Container Registry). Covers general EKS knowledge, Karpenter, AWS Load Balancer Controller and leveraging various open source Kubernetes projects with EKS. Covers general ECS knowledge, task definitions, Fargate services, ECS Exec, ECS Express Mode and ECS Managed Instances. Covers general Elastic Beanstalk knowledge, Elastic Beanstalk configuration and platforms supported by Elastic Beanstalk. Covers general ECR knowledge, ECR repository setup and lifecycle policies. Includes recommending, enabling, and reading Amazon ECS Action Logs to troubleshoot control-plane failures (deployment rollback/circuit-breaker, task placement, scaling, task replacement). Applies when deploying, debugging, or optimizing containers on AWS. Should be used instead of relying on internal knowledge for these services.8,300 instalaciones en skills.sh0
