SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you manage, secure, and optimize cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, ensuring adherence to best practices and cost-efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture Best Practices: Provides guidance on AWS Well-Architected pillars (Security, Reliability, Cost, etc.) and GCP architecture frameworks.
  • Security Scanning: Integrates tools like Trivy and Checkov for vulnerability assessment.
  • Cost Optimization: Offers strategies and tool recommendations for reducing cloud spend.
  • Observability: Guides on implementing OpenTelemetry for unified monitoring.
  • Use Case: Review your Terraform code for a new microservice deployment to ensure it follows security best practices, is cost-effective, and includes proper observability setup.

Quick Start

Use the cloud-infrastructure skill to review the security and cost implications of your current AWS VPC design.

Frequently Asked Questions about cloud-infrastructure

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review my Terraform code for security and cost best practices?

Review Terraform code for AWS and GCP deployments by evaluating VPC designs, IAM policies, and load balancers against Well-Architected principles. This process identifies security vulnerabilities and cost inefficiencies before applying infrastructure changes.

What is the best way to optimize cloud architecture for cost and observability?

Optimize cloud architecture by applying AWS and GCP Well-Architected frameworks to reduce cloud spend and implement unified monitoring. Integrating OpenTelemetry establishes observability while cost optimization strategies minimize resource waste.

Do I need to install AWS CLI or gcloud CLI to analyze my infrastructure?

Yes, AWS CLI or gcloud CLI is required to manage and analyze cloud infrastructure components. Optional tools like Trivy, Checkov, and Infracost can be added to enhance vulnerability scanning and cost analysis.

How does security scanning work for IaC configurations?

Security scanning for IaC configurations works by integrating tools like Trivy and Checkov to perform vulnerability assessments. Running these checks against Terraform outputs detects misconfigurations in IAM policies and VPC designs before deployment.

Can I use this approach for both AWS and GCP environments?

Yes, the approach supports both AWS and GCP environments by providing guidance on their respective architecture frameworks. It evaluates security, reliability, and cost pillars across both cloud platforms.

What are the limitations of relying solely on Well-Architected pillars for architectural decisions?

Relying solely on Well-Architected pillars for architectural decisions limits analysis to predefined frameworks without runtime context. Combining these principles with Trivy, Checkov, and Infracost ensures automated vulnerability and cost validation.
