# Amazon Web Services skill

AWS is the default public cloud: compute, storage, data, and a console that overwhelms newcomers. Human Twin Score is middling because the console and naming are a tax. Agent Twin Score is excellent because everything is an API, the CLI is real, and IAM is the most battle-tested permission system in the industry. We are not ranking 'is cloud good'; we are scoring the surface. Twin Score on this directory is 64 for humans and 91 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Amazon Web Services is sold by Amazon, founded 2006, headquartered in Seattle, USA. Pricing in public materials: Pay-as-you-go across hundreds of services; Enterprise Discount Programs. Machine capabilities we record: API excellent, MCP none, CLI excellent, docs strong, auth IAM, STS, assumed roles. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.

## When to use

Use this skill when a user asks to integrate, script, or evaluate Amazon Web Services (Amazon).

## When not to use

Do not claim an MCP server exists unless the capability matrix says so (current MCP level: none). Do not invent user-count ratings.
