Cloud Infrastructure Design
Architects cloud infrastructure topology and evaluates reliability, security, and cost trade-offs before generating IaC.
The Cloud Infrastructure Design skill guides engineering teams through pre-implementation planning for cloud systems across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. By collecting workload, traffic, data, budget, and compliance requirements upfront, it establishes network, compute, storage, and IAM topologies without prematurely jumping into code. The skill rigorously audits designs against reliability, cost, and security lenses, capturing critical trade-offs as Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and producing a structured infra-design.md contract optimized for downstream IaC authoring tools.
