Can this skill help reduce my AWS or Azure monthly costs?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated cost optimization workflow that focuses on right-sizing resources, identifying waste, and implementing FinOps best practices.

Is it useful for cloud migrations?

Yes, the skill uses the 6Rs framework to help you plan migration waves, select the right strategy (e.g., Replatforming vs. Refactoring), and define testing protocols.

What cloud providers does this skill support?

This skill provides specialized architectural guidance for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

How does the skill approach cloud security?

It implements 'Security by Design' principles, focusing on zero-trust architecture, identity federation, data encryption at rest and in transit, and compliance with frameworks like SOC2 and HIPAA.

Does it support Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?

Absolutely. It follows best practices for Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates to ensure your infrastructure is reproducible and version-controlled.
