provisioning-patterns

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents costly and painful infrastructure mistakes by helping you select the right cloud provisioning and hosting model for each workload based on control needs, scaling behavior, and operational tradeoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hosting-model selection guidance: Decide between VMs, self-managed containers, managed containers, serverless, and managed services using clear criteria (control vs. operational burden vs. scaling and latency).
• Database provisioning patterns: Choose managed relational, managed NoSQL, serverless databases, or self-managed databases with pragmatic rules of thumb to reduce ongoing operational load.
• Networking architecture defaults: Apply common public-to-private and service-to-service communication patterns to minimize exposure and complexity (including when to use NAT vs. VPC endpoints).

Quick Start

Use the infra/provisioning-patterns Skill to recommend a hosting and database model for a new service described as workload type, expected traffic variability, required persistence, latency tolerance, and compliance constraints.
