Comprehensive Amazon RDS and Aurora operational review aligned with the.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RDS / Aurora Operational Review

Conduct a comprehensive operational review of Amazon RDS instances and Amazon Aurora
clusters aligned with the [AWS Well-Architected Framework](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/framework/welcome.html)
and the [Amazon RDS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_BestPractices.html)
and [Aurora](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/CHAP_BestPractices.html)
best-practices guides.

This skill uses the **AWS RDS, Aurora, CloudWatch, CloudWatch Logs, EC2, and Cost
Explorer APIs only** — no Kubernetes (`k8s`) or `eks` MCP tools. All data is
collected through native AWS APIs available to the DevOps Agent's primary cloud
source role.

## When to Use

Activate this skill when the user asks to:
- Review, audit, or assess RDS instances or Aurora clusters
- Check RDS / Aurora best-practices compliance
- Evaluate database security, cost, reliability, performance, or backups
- Perform an RDS / Aurora operational readiness review (ORR)
- Investigate database health or configuration drift

## Step 1: Identify Target Resources

Ask the user which databases to review. Accept:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws/tools-for-devops-agent/rds-operation-review@sha256:ef3252db3ae667e3

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
