Install aws-compute for Codex and Claude Code
codex plugin marketplace add talkops-ai/devops-plugins
codex plugin marketplace upgrade talkops-devops-plugins
codex plugin add aws-compute@talkops-devops-pluginsPaste and run these commands in a terminal with Codex. They add and refresh the talkops-devops-plugins catalog, then install this plugin.
Compatibility: the page URL and API slug “aws-compute” remain stable.

aws-compute@agent-plugin-marketplace→aws-compute@talkops-devops-plugins
The installer fetches third-party code from the source repository shown on this page. This directory validates manifest structure and source location, but does not perform a security audit; review the manifest, components, and source before installing.

Included Skills4
Creates and automates custom image builds with EC2 Image Builder - Linux, Windows, and macOS AMIs, and container images to ECR. Covers the build IAM role, Amazon-managed and custom components, image recipes, infrastructure and distribution configuration (launch templates, SSM parameters, other Regions), one-off builds, recurring scheduled pipelines for golden AMI automation and OS patching, custom image workflows, and diagnosing failed builds. Applies when creating, automating, or scheduling AMI or container image builds with Image Builder, or when debugging a failed build. Not for launching instances from existing AMIs, AMI lifecycle/retirement, or general EC2 fleet management.
Provisions, scales, and operates Amazon EC2 virtual-machine workloads: instance-type selection (Graviton/Arm64, burstable T credits, GPU, instance store vs EBS), launch templates, Auto Scaling groups (scaling policies, instance refresh, mixed instances, Spot, warm pools, lifecycle hooks), IMDSv2, placement groups, Elastic IPs, AMI lifecycle, and Systems Manager fleet operations (Session Manager, Run Command, Patch Manager). Applies to EC2 instance and fleet questions, InsufficientInstanceCapacity, CPU-credit/surplus charges, IMDSv2 401s, instances stuck in Pending:Wait, ASG not replacing unhealthy instances, status-check failures, SSH refused/timed out, or instances missing as SSM managed nodes. For a single secure instance launch, the launching-ec2-instance-with-best-practices skill is more appropriate; for instance profiles, see setting-up-ec2-instance-profiles; for Image Builder, see amazon-ec2-image-builder. Does NOT cover Lambda, ECS/Fargate, EKS, VPC/ALB/NLB design, or IAM policy authoring.
Launches an EC2 instance with secure, cost-efficient defaults including AMI selection, burstable instance sizing, least-privilege IAM roles, hardened security groups, encrypted EBS volumes, and comprehensive tagging. Use when deploying new EC2 instances following AWS best practices for security and cost optimization.
Configures EC2 instances to securely call AWS services by creating and attaching IAM roles via instance profiles, eliminating hardcoded credentials. Use when an EC2 instance needs permissions to access AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, SQS, or CloudWatch through temporary credentials.
