SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AWS teams struggle to verify whether their applications actually meet RTO/RPO targets and to identify resilience gaps before an outage occurs. This Skill automates a full Resilience Hub assessment, turning raw findings into prioritized, documented remediation guidance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - End-to-End Assessment Workflow: Validates AWS credentials, discovers Resilience Hub operations, runs the assessment asynchronously, and waits for completion before reading results. - Drift and Scope Detection: Cross-references assessment scope against live infrastructure to flag resources missed by tag-based Resource Groups and resources that no longer exist. - Enriched Remediation Reporting: Maps every finding to a remediating service (ARC, DRS, Backup), a Well-Architected Reliability best-practice ID, estimated cost, and documentation links from AWS docs and re:Post. - Use Case: Before a quarterly DR review, run an assessment on your production application to get a table of components, assessed versus target RTO/RPO, failure modes, and prioritized fixes ordered by blast radius. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a resilience assessment for your registered AWS application and report RTO/RPO gaps with remediation recommendations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an AWS Resilience Hub assessment for my application?

Verify your AWS session with aws sts get-caller-identity, then run an assessment against the application's resilience policy using the resiliencehub API. Poll the assessment status until it reaches COMPLETED before reading results, since assessments run asynchronously.

How do I validate RTO and RPO targets for AWS workloads?

Resilience Hub assessments compare your application's configuration against its resilience policy and report assessed versus target RTO/RPO per component. Map each gap to a DR strategy tier and a remediating service such as ARC, DRS, or AWS Backup.

Why does my Resilience Hub assessment miss some resources?

Tag-based Resource Groups often fail to include every resource, so the assessment scope can be incomplete. Cross-reference the assessed resources against live infrastructure in the account to flag missed resources and detect configuration drift.

Can a resilience assessment modify my AWS infrastructure?

No. The assessment workflow is read-only and never creates, modifies, or deletes workload infrastructure. It only surfaces recommendations, each mapped to a Well-Architected Reliability best-practice ID and documentation link.

What should I do if dependency discovery reports zero dependencies?

Treat zero discovered dependencies for a non-trivial application as a discovery failure rather than a valid result. Re-check the application onboarding source, such as the CloudFormation stack, resource group, or Terraform state, before trusting the assessment.
