Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install APEX Skills?▼

Run `npx skills add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills globally.

What does APEX do for EKS clusters?▼

It designs new clusters, generates production-ready Terraform, audits live clusters for upgrade readiness, cost waste, security gaps, and operational health, then produces scored reports with fixes.

Does APEX work with Claude Code and Kiro?▼

Yes. All skills follow the open Agent Skills standard and run in Claude Code, Kiro CLI, and any other compatible agent harness.

Can APEX check if my cluster is safe to upgrade?▼

Yes. The eks-upgrade-check skill runs read-only checks across 8 areas, calculates a 0-100 readiness score, and lists blockers with remediation commands.

Do I need coding experience to use APEX?▼

No. You describe what you want in plain English, and the agent uses the skills to assess, design, or build while asking for confirmation before any change.
