SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a comprehensive audit of an Amazon QuickSight account to determine migration readiness, helping teams decide which analyses to retire, migrate, or re-architect before moving to Sigma.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Migration Scoping: Automatically inventories analyses, dashboards, and datasets to identify complexity and conversion effort.
  • Value/Cost Scoring: Ranks analyses based on usage and technical complexity to prioritize high-impact, low-effort migrations.
  • Use Case: A data team planning a migration can run this skill to generate a migration plan that clusters analyses by shared datasets, ensuring efficient data model reuse in Sigma.

Quick Start

Run the quicksight-assessment skill to inventory your account and generate a migration-readiness report in the specified output directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess my Amazon QuickSight migration readiness to Sigma?

Assess QuickSight migration readiness by inventorying account metadata, analyzing technical complexity and usage patterns, and generating a value-ranked migration shortlist. The skill operates in read-only mode using AWS CLI to extract environment signals without modifying source systems.

Can I inventory QuickSight dashboards and datasets to estimate migration effort?

Yes, you can automatically inventory QuickSight analyses, dashboards, and datasets to identify technical complexity and conversion effort. The skill scores analyses based on usage and complexity to prioritize high-impact, low-effort migrations.

What is the best way to prioritize QuickSight analyses for migration?

Prioritize QuickSight analyses using value and cost scoring. The skill ranks analyses based on usage patterns and technical complexity to identify which to retire, migrate, or re-architect, ensuring efficient data model reuse in Sigma.

Do I need AWS CLI to audit my QuickSight account metadata?

Yes, AWS CLI is required to audit QuickSight account metadata. The skill operates in read-only mode using the AWS CLI to extract analysis definitions, dataset structures, and visual configurations without modifying source systems.

How does clustering analyses by shared datasets help with BI migration?

Clustering analyses by shared datasets helps generate a migration plan that ensures efficient data model reuse in Sigma. This approach identifies related analyses to streamline the migration architecture and reduce redundant data model conversions.

Are there limitations to what QuickSight account metadata can be extracted for migration?

The skill extracts analysis definitions, dataset structures, and visual configurations in read-only mode. It does not modify source systems, meaning it provides assessment and scoring outputs but does not execute the actual migration or re-architecture processes.
