Provision and manage Amazon RDS instances with production-grade backups, replication, monitoring, security, and migration guidance.
This skill provides step-by-step instructions and examples to provision, configure, and manage Amazon RDS databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server). It covers subnet groups, Multi-AZ deployments, read replicas, snapshots/PITR, parameter groups, monitoring, and Terraform examples for IaC.
Use when deploying managed relational databases on AWS, setting up high-availability or read-scaling architectures, performing migrations from self-managed DBs to RDS, or automating backups and monitoring. The skill is suitable for production migrations and day-2 operations where safety checks and IAM permissions are required.
Designed for agent runtimes with Bash/AWS-CLI access and infrastructure orchestration capabilities (agentic DevOps flows, Copilot/Goose/Codex-style agents).
AWS RDS provisioning and management skill — a well-organized reference covering CLI commands, Terraform IaC, read replicas, snapshots, PITR, monitoring, and troubleshooting. No bundled scripts; purely a documentation-driven skill. Uses --manage-master-user-password instead of hardcoded credentials. Placeholder ARNs are example values, not real secrets. Minor shell injection risk if users substitute unquoted variables, but commands are presented as examples not scripts.
Solid reference skill for AWS RDS. No scripts to execute — static analysis only. Security is good: uses managed secrets, encryption, deletion protection. Deducted 12 points for potential shell injection risk from unquoted variable substitution patterns in example commands. Architecture is clean but lacks scripts/ or references/ directories, which would improve reusability. No auto-update or phone-home mechanisms.
