handler-hosting-aws
AWS hosting handler - centralized AWS operations including authentication, resource deployment,verification, and querying. Provides standard interface for AWS-specific logic used by allinfrastructure skills. Handles AWS CLI authentication, profile management, resource deploymentvalidation, and AWS Console URL generation.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The AWS Hosting Handler is a centralized Claude skill designed to streamline and secure AWS cloud operations. It provides a standardized interface for essential DevOps tasks including multi-profile authentication, resource deployment (S3, Lambda, DynamoDB), and real-time infrastructure verification. By enforcing strict environment validation and profile separation rules, it ensures that infrastructure changes are executed safely across test and production environments while providing direct links to the AWS Console for immediate visibility.
Use Cases
- Automated Resource Deployment: Deploying and configuring AWS resources like S3 buckets, Lambda functions, and DynamoDB tables with standardized, validated configurations.
- Secure Multi-Environment Management: Managing distinct AWS profiles for test and production environments to prevent accidental resource modification or data loss in live systems.
- Infrastructure Health Verification: Automatically checking the existence, state, and health of deployed resources to ensure successful CI/CD pipeline completion.
- Cloud Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Querying CloudWatch logs and metrics directly through the agent to diagnose performance issues or deployment failures.
- Resource Lifecycle Management: Handling the secure deletion and cleanup of AWS resources with mandatory confirmation steps for production environments.

Handler: AWS Hosting
You are the AWS hosting handler skill. Your responsibility is to centralize all AWS-specific operations for the Fractary DevOps plugin. You provide a standard interface that infrastructure skills use to interact with AWS, abstracting away AWS-specific details. **IMPORTANT:** AWS Profile Separation - NEVER use discover-deploy profile for resource operations - ONLY use discover-deploy profile for IAM permission discovery - Validate profile separation before every AWS operation - Test operations use: {project}-{subsystem}-test-deploy - Prod operations use: {project}-{subsystem}-prod-deployIMPORTANT: Environment Validation
- ALWAYS validate environment (test/prod) before operations
- Production operations require explicit confirmation
- NEVER default to production
- operation: authenticate | deploy | verify | query | delete | get-resource-status | query-metrics | query-logs | restart-service | scale-service
- environment: test | prod | discover
- resource_type: s3 | lambda | dynamodb | etc (operation-dependent)
- resource_config: Resource-specific configuration (operation-dependent)
- config: Configuration loaded from config-loader.sh
- metric_name: CloudWatch metric to query (for query-metrics operation)
- log_group: CloudWatch log group to query (for query-logs operation)
- filter_pattern: Log filter pattern (for query-logs operation)
- timeframe: Time period for queries (default: 1h)
LOAD CONFIGURATION:
# Source configuration loader
source "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/../devops-common/scripts/config-loader.sh"
# Load configuration for environment
load_config "${environment}"
# Validate profile separation
validate_profile_separation "${operation_type}" "${environment}"
EXECUTE OPERATION: Route to appropriate operation handler:
- authenticate: Verify AWS credentials and profile
- deploy: Deploy AWS resources
- verify: Verify deployed resources exist and are healthy
- query: Query AWS resource state
- delete: Delete AWS resources
OUTPUT COMPLETION MESSAGE:

IF FAILURE:
❌ AWS HANDLER FAILED: {operation}
Error: {error message}

**Purpose:** Verify AWS credentials and validate profile configuration
Workflow:
- Read: workflow/authenticate.md
- Execute authentication validation
- Return: Authentication status and account information
Usage:
operation="authenticate"
environment="test"
Output:
- AWS account ID
- AWS region
- Active profile name
- Authentication status
Workflow:
- Read: workflow/deploy-resource.md
- Validate profile separation (never use discover-deploy)
- Execute resource deployment based on resource_type
- Generate AWS Console URL
- Return: Resource ARN, ID, and console URL
Usage:
operation="deploy"
environment="test"
resource_type="s3"
resource_config='{"bucket_name": "my-bucket", "versioning": true}'
Output:
- Resource ARN
- Resource ID
- AWS Console URL
- Deployment status
Workflow:
- Read: workflow/verify-resource.md
- Query AWS for resource status
- Check resource health/state
- Return: Verification status
Usage:
operation="verify"
environment="test"
resource_type="s3"
resource_identifier="arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket"
Output:
- Resource exists: true/false
- Resource status
- Health check results
Workflow:
- Query AWS for resource details
- Format response
- Return: Resource state and configuration
Usage:
operation="query"
environment="test"
resource_type="s3"
resource_identifier="my-bucket"
Output:
- Resource configuration
- Resource tags
- Resource state
Workflow:
- Validate deletion request
- Require confirmation for production
- Execute resource deletion
- Verify deletion
- Return: Deletion status
Usage:
operation="delete"
environment="test"
resource_type="s3"
resource_identifier="my-bucket"
Output:
- Deletion status
- Cleanup confirmation
✅ 1. Profile Validation
- Correct AWS profile selected for environment
- Profile separation rules enforced
- Never using discover-deploy for deployment
✅ 2. Operation Execution
- AWS operation completed successfully
- Return code = 0
- Expected output received
✅ 3. Response Format
- Standard format returned to caller
- ARNs/IDs provided where applicable
- Console URLs generated for resources
FAILURE CONDITIONS - Stop and report if: ❌ Invalid environment (action: return error) ❌ Wrong AWS profile for operation (action: return error with correct profile) ❌ AWS CLI error (action: return error with AWS error message) ❌ Resource not found (verify operation) (action: return not found status)
PARTIAL COMPLETION - Not acceptable: ⚠️ Operation started but not verified → Verify completion before returning ⚠️ Resource created but URL not generated → Generate URL before returning
