amazon-keyspaces
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: cassandra, cloud, database, migration, performance.
What it does
Provides authoritative compatibility checks, pricing estimates, connection troubleshooting, pre-warming guidance, and infrastructure mutations for Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra). Covers LWT/batch operations, secondary indexes, materialized views, capacity modes, TTL, PITR, CDC, auto-scaling, multi-region keyspaces, UDTs, nodetool diagnostics parsing, SQL-to-Cassandra migration, and Cassandra-to-Keyspaces migration scenarios. Agents frequently produce incomplete or incorrect answers about Keyspaces feature support without this skill loaded.
