SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing secure, cost-effective, and resilient cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP requires deep expertise that most teams lack, leading to overspending, security gaps, and fragile architectures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Cloud Architecture Design: Recommends appropriate services across AWS, Azure, and GCP for workloads including serverless, microservices, and event-driven systems. - Infrastructure as Code Guidance: Produces Terraform/OpenTofu, CDK, Bicep, and CloudFormation implementations following best practices. - FinOps & Cost Optimization: Provides cost estimates, right-sizing recommendations, reserved instance strategies, and chargeback models. - Use Case: Ask it to design a multi-region, auto-scaling web application on AWS and receive an architecture with service selections, IaC snippets, security controls, and estimated monthly costs. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design a HIPAA-compliant multi-region architecture on AWS with cost estimates and Terraform code.

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-region architecture on AWS?▼

Multi-region design on AWS uses active-active or active-passive patterns with cross-region replication, global load balancing, and Route 53 health checks. The skill recommends services based on your RPO/RTO targets and provides Terraform implementations with cost estimates.

What is the best way to reduce cloud infrastructure costs?▼

Cloud cost optimization combines right-sizing resources, reserved instances or committed use discounts, spot instances, and proper tagging for cost allocation. The skill applies FinOps practices including budget alerts, anomaly detection, and chargeback reporting across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Terraform vs Pulumi vs CDK for infrastructure as code?▼

Terraform/OpenTofu offers the broadest provider ecosystem and mature state management, while CDK and Pulumi let you write infrastructure in TypeScript, Python, or Go. The skill covers module design, workspaces, and GitOps integration for all three approaches.

Can this help with HIPAA or SOC2 compliant cloud architectures?▼

Yes, the skill designs compliance-ready architectures for SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and FedRAMP. It applies zero-trust principles, encryption everywhere, least-privilege IAM, and secrets management with tools like HashiCorp Vault.

How do I plan a disaster recovery strategy across cloud providers?▼

Disaster recovery planning starts with defining RPO and RTO objectives, then selecting backup, replication, and failover patterns such as active-passive or multi-region active-active. The skill also covers DR testing and chaos engineering to validate resilience.
