SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AWS networking spans many services, and choosing the wrong one leads to misconfigured connectivity or security gaps. This Skill triages networking requests and routes them to the correct service-specific skill across Route 53, CloudFront, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Site-to-Site VPN, WAF, and Shield Advanced. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Routing Table: Matches user requests by meaning to one of seven service skills covering DNS, CDN, hybrid connectivity, and network security. - Cross-Service Disambiguation: Resolves overlapping requests (filtering, logging, traffic shifting) by identifying which network layer the task targets. - Security Guardrails: Raises relevant risks and controls when routing, including encryption in transit, DDoS protection, least-privilege IAM, and log destination encryption. - Use Case: A user asks to protect a public website from bots and DDoS attacks. The Skill routes to waf for L7 filtering and shieldadvanced for L3/L4 protection, noting that rate-based rules and logging should be enabled. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up a CloudFront distribution with a custom domain and let it route the request to the right AWS networking skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between AWS networking services for my architecture?

Match your request against the Skill Routing Table by meaning, not exact wording. If multiple services match, use the Cross-Service Concepts tables to identify which network layer the task targets, then route to the skill that owns that layer.

What is the difference between AWS WAF and Shield Advanced?

AWS WAF filters at layer 7, inspecting HTTP request attributes with managed rules, rate-based rules, and bot control. Shield Advanced protects internet-facing resources from layer 3 and layer 4 DDoS floods and can trigger automatic L7 mitigation via WAF.

When should I use Direct Connect versus Site-to-Site VPN?

Use Direct Connect for a dedicated private link with consistent latency, high throughput, and MACsec encryption for production hybrid workloads. Use Site-to-Site VPN for quick encrypted IPsec tunnels over the internet or as a Direct Connect backup.

Does this skill cover VPC subnets, route tables, or load balancers?

No. VPC foundations, load balancers, VPC endpoints, PrivateLink, and API Gateway are out of scope. The skill tells the user those services are not available rather than routing to the closest listed skill.

Can this skill configure AWS networking services directly?

No. This skill only triages and routes requests to service-specific skills; it does not implement configurations itself. The target skill handles the actual service configuration and security controls.
