[ElastiCache](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/policy-model/databases/elasticache.md): Amazon ElastiCache instances managed inside an Environment — Redis and Memcached. - [Installation](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/installation.md): Connect DuploCloud to your AWS accounts and cloud providers. - [Quick Start](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start.md): Get up and running with the AWS Extension — two paths depending on where you are starting from. - [Connect to Existing Infrastructure](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing.md): Connect DuploCloud to your existing AWS infrastructure and start working immediately. - [Example: Cost Optimization](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing/example-cost-optimization.md): A worked example — connect to an existing AWS account and run a cost optimization analysis using a HelpDesk ticket. - [Example: Security and Compliance](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing/example-security-compliance.md): Use DuploCloud to audit your AWS account against a compliance framework, fix failing controls, and track score improvements — without manually hunting down issues. - [Example: AWS Performance Dashboard](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing/example-performance-dashboard.md): Use DuploCloud to build a reusable AWS performance dashboard — pulling live metrics from CloudWatch across EKS, RDS, and EC2 without writing any dashboard code. - [Example: Developer Self-Service via Slack](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing/example-developer-self-service.md): Let developers request AWS resources directly from Slack — the agent provisions, opens a PR, and closes the Jira ticket autonomously. - [Example: Infrastructure Audit and Hardening](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing/example-infrastructure-audit.md): Connect an existing AWS service to DuploCloud and get it from zero observability to production-ready — with security hardening, cost controls, and automated pipelines. - [Example: Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/aws-extension/aws-extension/quick-start/connect-existing/example-troubleshooting.md): Investigate and resolve AWS infrastructure issues — EKS pod crashes, RDS degradation, ALB errors — using the AI agent as your first responder. -
