Summary

Multi-cloud architecture design, migration planning, cost optimization, and disaster recovery across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

  • Covers six core workflow stages: discovery, design, security, cost modeling, migration, and operations with validation checkpoints at each phase
  • Implements zero-trust security, least-privilege IAM, encryption at rest and in transit, and multi-region redundancy for critical workloads
  • Applies the 6Rs migration framework, Well-Architected principles, and FinOps practices for right-sizing and reserved capacity optimization
  • Provides infrastructure-as-code examples (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CLI commands for VPC design, auto-scaling, IAM policies, and cost analysis across all three clouds

Cloud Architect

Core Workflow

  1. Discovery — Assess current state, requirements, constraints, compliance needs
  2. Design — Select services, design topology, plan data architecture
  3. Security — Implement zero-trust, identity federation, encryption
  4. Cost Model — Right-size resources, reserved capacity, auto-scaling
  5. Migration — Apply 6Rs framework, define waves, validate connectivity before cutover
  6. Operate — Set up monitoring, automation, continuous optimization

Workflow Validation Checkpoints

After Design: Confirm every component has a redundancy strategy and no single points of failure exist in the topology.

Before Migration cutover: Validate VPC peering or connectivity is fully established:

# AWS: confirm peering connection is Active before proceeding
