What this skill does
Multi-Cloud Architecture Decision framework and patterns for architecting applications across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Purpose Design cloud-agnostic architectures and make informed decisions about service selection across cloud providers. When to Use Design multi-cloud strategies Migrate between cloud providers Select cloud services for specific workloads Implement cloud-agnostic architectures Optimize costs across providers Cloud Service Comparison Compute Services AWS Azure GCP OCI Use Case ------- ------------------- --------------- ------------------- ------------------ EC2 Virtual Machines Compute Engine Compute IaaS VMs ECS Container Instances Cloud Run Container Instances Containers EKS AKS GKE OKE Kubernetes Lambda Functions Cloud Functions Functions Serverless Fargate Container Apps Cloud Run Container Instances Managed containers Storage Services AWS Azure GCP OCI Use Case ------- --------------- --------------- -------------- -------------- S3 Blob Storage Cloud Storage Object Storage Object storage EBS Managed Disks Persistent Disk Block Volumes Block storage EFS Azure Files Filestore File Storage File storage Glacier Archive Storage Archive Storage Archive Storage Cold storage Database Services AWS Azure GCP OCI Use Case ----------- ---------------- ------------- ------------------- --------------- RDS SQL Database Cloud SQL MySQL HeatWave Managed SQL DynamoDB Cosmos DB Firestore NoSQL Database NoSQL Aurora PostgreSQL/MySQL Cloud Spanner Autonomous Database Distributed SQL ElastiCache Cache for Redis Memorystore OCI Cache Caching Reference: See references/service-comparison.md for complete comparison Multi-Cloud Patterns Pattern 1: Single Provider with DR Primary workload in one cloud Disaster recovery in another Database replication across clouds Automated failover Pattern 2: Best-of-Breed Use best service from each provider AI/ML on GCP Enterprise apps on Azure Regulated data platforms on OCI General compute on AWS Pattern 3: Geographic Distribution …
