cloud-architect
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
- Discovery — Assess current state, requirements, constraints, compliance needs
- Design — Select services, design topology, plan data architecture
- Security — Implement zero-trust, identity federation, encryption
- Cost Model — Right-size resources, reserved capacity, auto-scaling
- Migration — Apply 6Rs framework, define waves, validate connectivity before cutover
- 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
