SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires aws-cli, boto3, ruby, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the complex, error-prone process of migrating Amazon QuickSight analyses and dashboards into Sigma, ensuring data parity and visual consistency while preserving business logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Extraction & Translation: Converts QuickSight analysis definitions, datasets, and data sources into Sigma-compatible data models and workbook specifications.
  • Parity Verification: Includes a rigorous multi-pass parity check to ensure that Sigma elements return the same row-level data and aggregations as the original QuickSight visuals.
  • Use Case: Use this tool when your organization is transitioning from QuickSight to Sigma and needs to migrate a large estate of dashboards without manually rebuilding every chart, filter, and calculation.

Quick Start

Run the migration script by providing your QuickSight analysis ID, AWS profile, and target Sigma connection ID to orchestrate the full discovery, conversion, and validation pipeline.
