What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams design cloud systems that are secure, highly available, cost-aware, and ready for migration across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It reduces the guesswork in choosing services, planning networking, and defining recovery targets for production workloads.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architecture Design: Create cloud-native or hybrid architectures with clear service selection, data flow, and redundancy.
- Migration Planning: Map application moves using the 6Rs, validate connectivity, and plan cutover and rollback steps.
- Security and Reliability: Apply zero-trust principles, encryption, multi-region resilience, and disaster recovery planning.
- Cost Optimization: Recommend right-sizing, reservations, tagging, and FinOps practices to control spend.
- Use Case: A platform team can use this Skill to turn a monolithic app into a secure multi-region deployment with an implementation plan and cost estimate.
Quick Start
Ask the cloud-architect skill to design a secure, highly available cloud architecture for your workload and include your preferred provider, budget, compliance needs, and recovery targets.
