Cloud Infrastructure

Configures secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and major cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections.

About

This skill provides Claude with the specialized knowledge to architect and implement robust networking bridges between physical data centers and cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It offers domain-specific patterns for establishing site-to-site VPNs, dedicated connections such as Direct Connect or ExpressRoute, and advanced routing topologies like hub-and-spoke. It is an essential tool for DevOps engineers managing complex migrations, hybrid active-active setups, or high-compliance networking environments requiring private, encrypted tunnels and dynamic BGP routing.

Key Features

Security-hardened connection patterns and troubleshooting metrics.
Multi-cloud support for AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and GCP Interconnect.
Reference architectures for Hub-and-Spoke and Multi-region hybrid patterns.
Terraform (HCL) templates for automated gateway and VPN provisioning.
2 GitHub stars
Detailed BGP and dynamic routing configuration best practices.

Use Cases

Establishing redundant, high-bandwidth connections for hybrid active-active architectures.
Migrating legacy on-premises workloads to the cloud via secure, private connectivity.
Implementing encrypted tunnels to meet corporate compliance and data sovereignty standards.
