How does this skill handle network security?

It integrates security best practices such as tunnel encryption, private VPC endpoints, network ACL configuration, and continuous monitoring via flow logs.

Can I use this for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) implementation?

Yes, it includes specialized Terraform (HCL) snippets for resources like VPN gateways, customer gateways, and virtual network connections.

Does it provide guidance on high availability?

Absolutely. It covers HA patterns including dual VPN tunnels, active-active configurations, and BGP-based automatic failover to ensure connection resilience.

Which cloud providers does this skill support?

The skill provides configuration patterns and best practices for the three major providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
