How does this skill help avoid vendor lock-in?

It advocates for cloud-native abstractions such as Kubernetes for compute, S3-compatible APIs for storage, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure applications remain portable across environments.

Which cloud providers are supported by this skill?

The skill provides comprehensive mapping, comparison, and integration patterns for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Does it include cost optimization strategies?

Yes, it covers specific strategies for leveraging spot instances, committed use discounts, and right-sizing resources to manage costs effectively in a multi-cloud setup.

What architectural patterns are covered?

It includes patterns for Single Provider with DR, Best-of-Breed (using specialized services from different clouds), Geographic Distribution for data sovereignty, and Cloud-Agnostic Abstraction.

Cloud Infrastructure

Designs and implements cloud-agnostic architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP using a comprehensive service decision framework.

This skill provides a structured framework for architecting applications across multiple cloud providers to avoid vendor lock-in and maximize operational flexibility. It offers detailed cross-provider service mappings for compute, storage, and databases, alongside established multi-cloud patterns like geographic distribution and best-of-breed integration. Ideal for infrastructure engineers and architects, it guides the implementation of cloud-agnostic abstractions—such as Kubernetes and Terraform—to ensure high availability, cost efficiency, and seamless workload portability between major cloud environments.
