Multi-Cloud Architecture

About

Multi-Cloud Architecture provides a comprehensive framework for building resilient, cloud-agnostic systems that leverage the best features of major providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It offers detailed service comparisons for compute, storage, and database layers, alongside architectural patterns for disaster recovery and geographic distribution. This skill is essential for organizations aiming to avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs across different pricing models, and implement best-of-breed solutions by selecting the most effective services from each cloud ecosystem.

Key Features

• Strategic patterns for disaster recovery, geographic distribution, and cloud-agnostic abstraction
• Cross-provider service mapping for compute, storage, and database layers
• Four-phase migration framework covering assessment, pilot, migration, and optimization
• Cost optimization strategies leveraging reserved capacity, spot instances, and right-sizing
• Infrastructure abstraction guidance using Kubernetes, Terraform, and open-source alternatives
• 23,139 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Migrating complex workloads between cloud environments while maintaining operational consistency
• Selecting and integrating best-of-breed services (e.g., AI/ML on GCP with compute on AWS)
• Designing high-availability systems with automated failover between different cloud providers
