SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Enterprises and engineering teams need repeatable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP while minimizing downtime and avoiding vendor lock-in. This Skill reduces uncertainty during migrations, enforces Well-Architected principles, and produces concretely actionable designs, security controls, and cost models.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-cloud & Migration Planning: Guidance for 6R migration strategies, landing zone design, account structure, and wave-based migration plans.
  • Architecture Design & Rationale: Service selection, topology diagrams, data flow, networking patterns, and HA/DR approaches (multi-AZ, multi-region, pilot light, warm standby).
  • Security & Compliance: Identity design (IAM/Entra), zero-trust segmentation, encryption/KMS strategy, and governance guardrails (SCPs, Azure Policy).
  • Cost Optimization & Operability: Right-sizing, reserved/spot strategies, tagging and FinOps practices, observability, and runbook recommendations.
  • Use Case: Create a landing zone and migration plan for migrating a three-tier e-commerce application from on-prem to a hybrid AWS+GCP deployment with defined RTO/RPO and Terraform modules.

Quick Start

Use the cloud-architect skill to draft a multi-cloud migration plan for a production web application across AWS and GCP with recommended services, cost estimates, and an IaC deployment approach.

Frequently Asked Questions about cloud-architect

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a multi-cloud architecture for high availability across AWS, Azure, and GCP?▼

Multi-cloud architecture design for high availability involves selecting services across AWS, Azure, and GCP with topology diagrams, multi-AZ or multi-region data flows, and defined RTO/RPO disaster recovery targets. This approach enforces Well-Architected principles while minimizing vendor lock-in.

What is the best way to plan a 6R cloud migration with landing zones and wave-based deployment?▼

Planning a 6R cloud migration requires scoping landing zones, defining account structures, and sequencing wave-based migration plans for serverless, container, and VM workloads. This ensures repeatable, secure, and cost-effective enterprise deployments during transitions.

How do I optimize cloud costs with FinOps practices, right-sizing, and reserved instances?▼

Cloud cost optimization uses right-sizing, reserved and spot instance strategies, tagging, and FinOps practices to generate accurate cost models. This reduces waste by enforcing financial governance across serverless, container, and VM workloads.

Can I generate Terraform and CloudFormation infrastructure as code guidance for enterprise cloud deployments?▼

Yes, you can generate Terraform and CloudFormation guidance for enterprise cloud deployments. The architecture design includes concrete infrastructure as code deployment approaches, service selection rationale, and security controls for hybrid environments.

How do I implement zero-trust security controls and IAM governance guardrails in a multi-cloud environment?▼

Implementing zero-trust security controls requires identity design using IAM and Entra, encryption and KMS strategy, and governance guardrails like Service Control Policies and Azure Policy to enforce segmentation across multi-cloud environments.

What disaster recovery approaches should I use for multi-region cloud architecture?▼

Disaster recovery approaches for multi-region cloud architecture include pilot light, warm standby, and multi-AZ active-active configurations. Selecting the right approach depends on defined RTO/RPO targets and workload criticality.
