eks-cost-intelligence

eks-cost-intelligence is a Containers & Kubernetes skill for AI agents, published by aws-samples in the sample-apex-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates eks-cost-intelligence B (81/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Run a live EKS cluster cost efficiency assessment — analyze spending across 6 dimensions (compute efficiency, Spot/Graviton adoption, networking, storage, observability, idle resources), calculate a weighted 0-100 Cost Score, and generate a prioritized report with dollar-quantified findings and ready-to-apply remediation snippets. Use this skill when someone asks "how much am I wasting on EKS?", "run a cost audit on my cluster", "what's my biggest cost driver?", "analyze my cluster's cost efficiency", or needs dollar-denominated findings for a FinOps review — even if they don't say "cost intelligence" or "score". Combines live Cost Explorer data, CloudWatch utilization metrics, and Kubernetes resource analysis. Falls back to AWS CLI and kubectl when the EKS MCP server is unavailable. Distinct from eks-best-practices (static advisory guidance), eks-operation-review (operational health), and eks-recon (cluster discovery).
