Can I use this for multi-cloud or hybrid environments?

Absolutely. It covers cloud-specific patterns for AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as generic toolsets like pgBackRest and Restic that work across any infrastructure.

How does this skill help with RTO and RPO planning?

The skill provides a quick decision framework that maps your recovery time and point requirements to specific technical architectures, ranging from low-cost daily backups to high-availability active-active replication.

How does the skill handle DR testing?

It provides implementation patterns for chaos engineering and automated DR drills, allowing you to simulate failures like database crashes or regional outages to verify your recovery runbooks.

Does it support Kubernetes disaster recovery?

Yes, it includes specialized guidance for Kubernetes using Velero for volume snapshots and etcdctl for control plane backups, along with restore verification steps.

Cloud Infrastructure

Architects and implements comprehensive disaster recovery strategies, including RTO/RPO planning, automated backups, and cross-region failover configurations.

About

This skill provides domain-specific guidance for building resilient architectures and managing the end-to-end disaster recovery lifecycle. It helps developers and DevOps engineers define critical recovery time and point objectives (RTO/RPO), select appropriate backup tools like pgBackRest or Velero, and configure multi-region replication patterns. Whether you are ensuring compliance with GDPR and SOC 2 or validating system resilience through chaos engineering and automated DR drills, this skill provides the implementation patterns and best practices needed to protect mission-critical data and maintain high availability.
