What this skill does
Senior Cloud Architect Expert cloud architecture and infrastructure design across AWS, GCP, and Azure — production-grade VPC/compute/database topologies, cost optimization, disaster recovery, and security posture auditing. Keywords cloud, aws, gcp, azure, terraform, infrastructure, vpc, eks, ecs, lambda, cost-optimization, disaster-recovery, multi-region, iam, security, migration Core Capabilities Production architecture design — Terraform VPC, multi-AZ ECS/EKS behind ALB, RDS Multi-AZ, ElastiCache, layered WAF/NACL/SG security. Multi-cloud comparison — map equivalent compute, serverless, storage, database, ML, and CDN services across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Cost optimization — right-sizing, Reserved Instances/Savings Plans/Spot selection, cost-allocation tagging, budget alerting. Disaster recovery — Backup/Pilot Light/Warm Standby/Multi-Site strategy selection against RTO/RPO, cross-region replication, Route 53 failover. Security posture — CIS benchmark audits, network segmentation, least-privilege IAM with conditions, encryption at rest and in transit. Well-Architected reviews — checklist across all six pillars (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost, sustainability). When to Use Designing a new production cloud architecture or migration. Reducing cloud spend or planning reserved capacity. Planning or testing disaster recovery and failover. Auditing security posture against CIS benchmarks. Comparing AWS / GCP / Azure for a workload. Clarify First Before designing the architecture, confirm these inputs. …
